The music industry faces its biggest transformation as artificial intelligence rewrites the rules of creation.

While some fear AI’s impact on music creation, others see unprecedented opportunities. Just like we’ve seen with recent industry disruptions, this technological wave is reshaping how artists create, distribute, and monetize their work.
