Welcome back! This week we're diving deep into an AI rabbit hole.
AI has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for many industries, but how is it affecting the music industry? You may remember the Beatles using AI for their recent single "Now and Then" to isolate John Lennon’s voice, or maybe you’re a fan of the new AI artist, Anna Indiana. However, AI-generated music first appeared back in 2016, and the lads take us back to the beginning to tell us all about it.
In this episode, Alfie and Fionnán chat about the legalities and ethics of AI, the alleged illegally trained AI machines by Udio and Suno, and YouTube’s plans to offer payments to artists willing to train their AI technology. It doesn’t just stop at music, though, as they also discuss the effects of AI on the gaming and film industries. All that and more chats in this episode!
