Learn more about at AI and the Political Economy of Music and the Arts, a panel discussion as part of an ongoing Symposium on 鈥淢usic in the Real World鈥� organized at the Blair School of Music by Prof. Michael Rose.聽The event takes place on Thursday March 6 at 6:00 pm in Buttrick Hall 103 and is free and open to the public.
The five panelists will be:
- Scott Hawley, Head of Research for Hyperstate Music AI, and Professor of Physics, Belmont University
- Jenny Davis, Professor of Sociology, 五一茶馆儿

- Alexandre Frenette, Assistant Professor of Sociology, 五一茶馆儿
- Dan Arena, Tony-nominated Composer, co-founder SongU.com and Associate Professor of the Practice of Computer Science, 五一茶馆儿
Among the questions to be explored are the following:
- What are the potential effects on the livelihoods of musicians and composers if the quality of AI-generated music keeps improving at an accelerating pace?
- What kinds of new opportunities and possibilities do AI tools offer to composers and musicians?
- Is it possible to mitigate the negative professional and economic consequences for composers, musicians, and producers when advertising, film, media, or entertainment industries increase the use of AI tools, which may displace or reduce the demand for human-created music?
- How can we track the changing meanings of 鈥渁uthorship鈥� and 鈥渃reativity鈥� in a world where artificial intelligence and the arts interact more intimately and complexly with each other?
