Remixing the Music Industry: Ava Max in Conversation with President Ivan Duque on the Future of Music Creation

SpeakerS:

H.E. Iván Duque, Former President, Republic of Colombia (2018-2022)
Ava Max, American Singer & Songwriter

“In the movie industry, people ask: what’s the future of copyright? How should artists be protected? That’s a critical question we need to answer.” H.E. Iván Duque
“We have to compensate artists properly because if AI is moving at such a fast rate, we have to protect singers, songwriters, producers, and even engineers at all costs.” Ava Max

Key takeaways:

  • AI’s role in music: AI can create music quickly, but it lacks the emotional depth and human experience that artists bring to their work, it will be crucial to protect creativity and authenticity in an era where AI-generated content is rapidly advancing.
  • Protecting artist’s rights: AI is being trained on artist’s voices and compositions, raising concerns about fair compensation and copyright protection. Laws and policies must be developed to safeguard creators
  • AI as a tool, not a replacement: AI has potential to enhance music production (e.g., rhythms, arrangements), it should complement, not replace, human creativity.
  • Ethical concerns in AI advancement: The rapid advancement of AI in media industries requires immediate focus on ethical implications, particularly around compensation, copyright, and creative authenticity.

 

Action items:

  • Advocate for AI regulations: Push for the creation of clear laws and frameworks to protect artists’ rights as AI becomes more prevalent in the music industry.
  • Educate stakeholders: Raise awareness among artists, producers, and investors about the implications of AI in music creation and ensure they are prepared for the evolving landscape.
  • Support ethical AI usage: Develop and adopt ethical practices in training AI models, ensuring they do not exploit existing works without proper consent and compensation.
  • Foster collaboration: Encourage dialogue between artists, tech innovators, and policymakers to align on the ethical use of AI in the music industry.
  • Encourage responsible investment in AI: Guide investors toward projects that integrate AI ethically, enhancing rather than undermining creative professions.
