When the godfather of the music industry tries to deal with artificial intelligence
Haebom
Lucian Grainge is the CEO of Universal Music Group. In fact, you may not know it if I say it this way, but it is a giant in the music industry with 30% of the world's music market. As a simple example, the current . More than half of the top 20 most streamed artists on Spotify are signed to UMG. He is a key figure in the music industry with enormous copyrights, publishing capabilities, and even a production studio.
Recently, Lucian Grange spoke out about artificial intelligence and the music industry. Just as the rebirth of existing music through AI or impossible collaborations are hot topics in Korea, similar stories were emerging overseas. It is also true that there was a negative atmosphere in the air coupled with the recent writers' strike. (Of course, from the copyright holder's perspective...)
Grange expressed his positive view of the potential changes that artificial intelligence (AI) technology will bring to the music industry. In the interview, he predicted the future of the music industry through AI-generated images, text, and music, and showed his willingness to actively accept it, saying he was excited about what impact these technologies would have on the music industry.
Recently, a fake duet song called 'Heart on My Sleeve' created by replicating Drake and The Weeknd's voices using artificial intelligence became a hot topic in the United States. While these technologies provide new opportunities for the music industry, they also bring challenges such as copyright issues. Grange is not afraid of these changes, but shows a cautious approach.
Actually, a lot of AI covers have already been released, but now that a new song has been released, I have many thoughts. Now, I think there will be more development in style and genre. Personally, I am familiar with it: Producers seem to enjoy these things, performers, singers, etc. seem to feel a sense of crisis, and listeners are confused, but they don't seem to be that negative.
What do you think about new or cover songs created by AI? If you have any recommended AI-related songs that you have personally listened to recently, please share them.
