AI isn’t just creeping into music—it’s rewriting the rules. In this episode of AI x Music, we dive into six stories that show how fast things are shifting for musicians, producers, engineers, and the entire industry.First, Whitney Houston’s voice has been resurrected by AI, sparking big questions about ownership, ethics, and what it means to hear “new” songs from artists long after they’re gone.Next, Deezer reports that nearly a third of all uploads to its platform are AI-generated. That’s not just noise—it’s a tidal wave. We explore how that impacts discovery, artists trying to cut through the clutter, and whether curation can keep up.Then, we check out a new tool from Epidemic Sound that lets creators adapt licensed music to their content after it’s made. It’s powerful—but also raises the question: how would you feel if someone could tweak your finished track to fit their vibe?We also meet Country Cate, a completely AI-generated country artist who’s racking up millions of streams and views. What does it mean when “fake” artists are competing with real ones—and could this open a new lane for songwriters who’ve never wanted the spotlight?From there, we move to live production, where AI agents are already simplifying sound mixing and boosting audio quality on the fly. For engineers, this is both a gift and a threat—its efficiency at scale, but does it edge out the human ear?And finally, we land on a real-world backlash: the Spotify boycott expanding in Seattle, where artists are pulling music over royalties and AI-related concerns. Is this a fight for control, or an attempt to hold back the tide?Each segment stands alone, but together they paint a clear picture: AI isn’t just a tool. It’s a collaborator, a competitor, and a disruptor. For artists and creatives, the challenge isn’t just how to use it—it’s how to live alongside it.Big takeaway? AI is here to stay. Whether you embrace it, resist it, or just try to keep pace, understanding this shift is now part of being a modern creator.
