Leaders working across different facets of the music industry will discuss how they’ve toed the line between friend and foe when it comes to AI for music. While AI tools in music may allow for further democratization of entry for artists, there are also implications for existing artists regarding the safety of their existing IP. Whether looking towards the integration of AI composition tools, to the developers of AI music software themselves, seasoned industry pros (and maybe a robot!) will share insights as to how AI may impact the future of creativity for music--for better and worse.

A futurist and Canadian leaders in the education, science and clean technology space share their views and debate what’s ahead when AI and education merge. Presented at Canada House.

Music has never been more accessible for fans, but conversely it’s never been harder to make a living as a musician. While the fanbase and passion remains, the financial realities are very different. So how do artists solve this problem and take advantage of the opportunity to get closer to their fans? Web3 technologies offer a new opportunity in this space, creating the chance to create exclusivity with NFT digital pressings, immersive experiences using VR and AR technology and a range of other opportunities. This panel will look at where we’ve come from, take in the lessons from the massive recent Jack Daniel’s Music Drop campaign and look to the future to understand how fans and artists can get closer, and how brands might be able to play a role and enhance their business at the same time.
