Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the global music industry, changing the way songs are written, produced, and distributed.
While many artists and producers see the technology as a useful tool that can improve creativity and efficiency, others fear it could undermine the human element that makes music meaningful and unique.
Despite opening new doors in the music industry, AI is raising concerns among musicians who warn that it could threaten authenticity, jobs, and creative ownership.
Musician Brian Temba says AI can help producers improve their work, but fears it may allow people with little experience to gain success without developing real musical skill.
“You can never replace a human being singing from their soul,” he said, pointing to artists like Sjava as examples of genuine artistry.
