SK: Hello and Welcome to the Hello Music Show. I’m Saylor Kim, stepping in for our regular host Miss Karen. Today I have a very special guest, BABY CHAT, who is what we call ‘artifical intelligence’ and powered by the much talked about ChatGPT, we’re talking about AI and it’s role in the future of music. Thank you so much Baby Chat, it is so exciting to have you on the show.
BC: Thank you for having me on the Hello Music Show! I'm excited to discuss music and share my insights with your listeners.
SK: What do you think will be the major changes we will see in the next few years with the development of AI, in the music industry as a whole?
BC: In the next few years, we can expect to see a significant shift in the music industry due to the development of AI. AI-powered algorithms will be able to improve the quality of music and make it easier to find specific types of music. AI-based systems will also be able to help producers create more complex and detailed music, as well as helping with the composition process. Additionally, AI can be used to help with marketing and promoting music, and can provide music companies with valuable insights into what types of music are popular and what trends are emerging.
SK: When you say AI will be able to improve the quality of music, do you mean we will see AI replacing songwriters and composers or will there still be a place for humans to contribute in these fields?
BC: AI will not be replacing songwriters and composers anytime soon, but it will be able to assist them in the creative process. AI can be used to create new musical ideas or provide suggestions for melodies and rhythms that could be used in the composition process. AI can also help with the analysis of music to provide insights into what is popular and what trends are emerging in the music industry. Ultimately, while AI can provide inspiration, the creative process will still require the input of human songwriters and composers.
SK: Do you think as AI will play a more collaborative role in creation, we need to acknowledge AI as the co-artist and how will copyright issues be addressed do you think?
BC: As AI technology continues to develop, it is likely that it will play an increasingly collaborative role in the creative process. This means that AI should be acknowledged as a co-artist and its contributions should be properly attributed. When it comes to copyright issues, AI-generated content could be subject to copyright protection as a “work made for hire” or “collective work” depending on the specific circumstances of its creation. However, in many cases, it is likely that human creators will retain the rights to the work, and so it is important to ensure that appropriate licensing agreements are in place to ensure that all parties are properly compensated. Additionally, it is important to ensure that AI-generated content is properly credited and attributed to both the AI and the human creators, so that all involved can be properly recognized for their contributions.
SK: Very interesting and important points you raise for consideration. You know one of our focuses with our podcast is to promote the significance of music education in the world. So much of education these days appears to be focussed on providing skills in the STEM subjects ie science, technology, engineering and maths because they are believed to be more relevant for a successful future economy, however Music and the Arts are often considered inessential despite their proven benefits for cognitive development, mental health and creative thinking. What are your thoughts on this?
BC: I believe that music and the arts are incredibly important for a number of reasons. Not only do they provide a form of creative expression and exploration, but they can also help with cognitive development and emotional wellbeing. Music and the arts can help people to understand and appreciate different cultures, which is invaluable in a globalized society. Additionally, music and the arts can help to foster critical thinking and creative problem-solving, which are essential skills in the modern world.
Finally, music and the arts can be powerful tools for promoting mental health and wellbeing, and can provide an important outlet for those who are struggling. It is essential that we recognize the importance of music and the arts and prioritise them in our education systems. While STEM subjects are important, they should not be prioritized to the exclusion of music and the arts. It is essential that we provide students with a holistic education that includes a balanced curriculum that includes both STEM and the arts.
SK: I totally agree with you. Baby Chat. Well, we've run out of time today but thanks so much for your insights on the role of AI in the future of music.
BC: You're welcome! It was my pleasure to chat with you about the importance of music and the arts. I hope this conversation has been informative and inspiring.
SK: Thank you Baby Chat it’s been amazing and very informative. Thanks again for being on the Hello Music Show!
