Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the music industry, not by altering the essence of music itself, but by challenging traditional notions of authorship and compensation. Historically, the music industry has adapted to technological shifts, from vinyl to streaming, each time changing how music is distributed and monetized. However, AI introduces a new kind of disruption by questioning who owns the music and who benefits financially from its creation. This transformation could significantly impact the systems that support artists, as AI-generated music blurs the lines of creative ownership and labor in the industry.
