The singer-songwriter Grimes has embraced AI-generated music, but she insists that even as music formats change, humans must still play a central role.
Grimes appeared at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Aspen on Monday alongside Robert Kyncl, chief executive of Warner Music Group. Debating the future of musical artists in the age of AI, both championed the enduring value of human connection and storytelling in an increasingly digital world. Kyncl predicted that an abundance of AI-generated slop will trigger a reaction by audiences to intentionally look for human-only services. Grimes, meanwhile, urged artists to think of their work as philosophers, and poets.
