HUMAN IN THE LOOP: Wie­der­her­stel­lung von Ver­trau­en in einer von KI ge­präg­ten Mu­sik­bran­che

The more AI floods the music ecosystem with content, the more valuable human judgment, human relationships, and human trust become. For A&Rs drowning in submissions, platforms struggling to surface genuine talent, and artists trying to build careers in an industry where the gatekeepers are increasingly algorithmic, the ability to make and sustain real human connections is fast becoming the scarcest and most decisive resource in music. 

This panel examines what happens to the music value chain when trust becomes a bottleneck. How do A&Rs, platforms, managers, and labels make confident decisions when the volume of AI-assisted music makes discovery and evaluation exponentially harder? What role can technology itself play in rebuilding the human connections it has helped erode, and where does it have to step back entirely? And for artists navigating an industry where access to the right people matters more than ever, what does it actually take to build trust and relationships when just starting up? 

A conversation about the human infrastructure underneath the music industry — and why protecting and strengthening it may be the most important strategic priority of the AI era.
