This year’s Canadian Music Week devotes two seminars to AI, in addition to a third session that looks at the history of transformative technologies in the industry
A logo is seen during the AI for Good Global summit on artificial intelligence in Geneva, Switzerland, on May 30.One year ago, Music Canada chief executive Patrick Rogers opened the annual Canadian Music Week summit in Toronto with a state-of-the-industry speech that addressed the robot in the room. The artificially created track, featuring the fake voices of Drake and the Weeknd, had just gone viral and rattled the record business.
Or not, according to the authors. “Every time one of these enabling technologies came out, there was an uptick in music releases,” said Rosenblatt, who spoke to The Globe and Mail along with his co-author by video conference. “AI is another one of these tools that can be a tool for creators.” After which, Sidney Sheinberg, the influential president of MCA Records , stood up and bluntly declared he would not be giving Lack any MCA music for his channel. The short-sighted Sheinberg could not see the promotional value of music videos that every label would soon be chasing.
What could AI bring? The possibilities seem endless: “Siri, write me a Gordon Lightfoot song, as sung by Drake.”
