AI music is coming for your playlist. How are musicians coping?
“It is a copyright nightmare and it is disrespectful towards artists,” explains the entertainment, the media and the legal defender of Sandhya Surendran technology. On the insistence of Big Tech, any material accessible to the public – whether protected by copyright or not – is a fair game and can be used as training data for learning AI platforms, under the cover of “fair use”. It is more disturbed in this regard because the resulting output is not “transformative”, although it is monetized without compensating for the original composer or songwriter. Particularly problematic in an Indian context, where copyright and intellectual property are terribly ignored and rarely applied. We are a country of remix and remakes, mainly because composers do not have rights to their music; Production companies do so.
Big Tech has a lot to draw from this, potentially the liquidation of certain departments focused on humans, because AI, requiring neither sleep nor subsistence, is the perfect inanimate workhorse. Meanwhile, it is baratting, unsubscribing, baratting while some techniques feel the need to relive its university days without the nuisance of the hiring of a real artist with a mouth to feed.
An ideal situation would have artificial intelligence manage banalities in artistic expression. Manojna Yeluri, of the Artik license, adds: “We can rely on the AI safely to help with a lot of banal and administrative workload, especially if we are independent or smaller creative projects.” Automate payments, generate invoices, help Place taxes… Artists are harmful to their main mission with these secondary quests and could use automation to eliminate them.
Doom and duest apart, there is a much more optimistic counter-barrage: the next step forward. The presence of such a slope AI will only elevate the art that is made by man. The art of AI being based on what is already, making art unpredictable and counter-intuitive is the next challenge that artists are invited to consult. There is no better time to become really weird with that.
“Everyone will discover that art and music concern the link between human beings, not on art itself. Welcome to the dawn of authenticity. Just serve firmly, ”reassures Josh Fernandez, leader of our group The F16S. A real work, but it is real and that’s what matters.
