FMM133 - The Machines Are Coming: Will Your Music Be Replaced By AI?

Today we’re going all sci-fi… yep, it’s time to talk about AI!

Now when you hear the term Artificial Intelligence (AI), you’re likely to either get super excited, or to feel the fear welling up inside of you…

And perhaps if you’re like me, it’s a mixture of both.

Because on the one hand, the advances in technology in this area give humanity and, as we’re going to be discovering, music producers some really exciting and innovative tools to work with.

But on the other hand, they deliver the very real possibility of replacing us in a great many ways, and that includes writing music.

So is this something to be feared? Might we one day be listening to music made by computers that is indistinguishable from that created by human beings? Will our tastes be manipulated by machines?

It’s a lot to wrap your head around, so let’s get started.

Key takeaways:

Music can now be written, composed, arranged, curated and performed entirely by AI.

AI cannot replace individuals from making music inspired by their unique lived experiences.

New technology is there to be embraced, but it’s up to us to think far ahead enough to protect people along the way.
