The ‘AI in music’ debate continues to rage, with some artists and record companies decrying the impact it could have on music, and others taking a more optimistic view. But what could it mean for streaming services? The question was raised on a recent Spotify conference call and in one of its podcasts, and company CEO Daniel Ek sounds broadly positive.
Billboard [paywall] reports that, while Ek acknowledged the potential for copyright infringement in cases such as Heart On My Sleeve - the name of the song that sounded like it was being performed by Drake and The Weeknd and was recently removed from streaming services - he believes that AI could actually help more people to start making music and achieve their artistic goals.
