Voices on Generative AI

NMC Speaks with Music Creators, Administrators and Champions of Intellectual Property Protection

As part of NMC’s role in assisting its membership to keep apprised of developments concerning the critically important issue of Generative Artificial Intelligence and its bearing on the music community, we have launched an initiative to present the varied opinions of those in the thick of the global GenAI debate. The following clips are the sole opinions of the speakers. Additional interviews will be added at appropriate times in the future. It is our hope that this project will help inform public discourse on the crucial need to protect the rights of human creators in the US and around the world in the age of GenAI.

Production credit: All interviews conducted and edited by Kyra Badger.
