The State of the AI Dilemma - Pro­tec­tion vs. Music Li­cen­sing

As  AI-generated music surges in quality, volume, and visibility, the music industry stands at a pivotal crossroads. 

Should creators and rights holders focus on protecting their works from unauthorized use by AI systems or embrace the opportunity to license content into these emerging technologies and platforms? 
This panel brings together voices from across the music ecosystem who have extensive experience in this field to unpack the core tensions at play. 

What does "consent" look like in a world of scraped data and generative models? Can we develop licensing frameworks that are fair, scalable, and enforceable? Is protection even possible without stifling innovation?

We’ll explore the current state of regulation and already existing products that use AI for music and the practical paths forward. 

Whether you see AI as a threat, a tool, or a new collaborator, this conversation will get to the heart of one of the music industry’s most urgent dilemmas.
