Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should Artists Admit They Use AI? (ft. Dr. Joel Carnevale)
Q: What did the second experiment reveal about different types of AI disclosures in a traditional organizational setting?
Disclosing AI use for creativity harmed reputation, disclosing AI for administrative tasks slightly harmed reputation, and claiming no AI use yielded no benefits over simply not mentioning AI at all.
Should Artists Admit They Use AI? (ft. Dr. Joel Carnevale)
Q: What were the outcomes of the first experiment in terms of reputation and credit?
Disclosing AI use led to a reputational hit across the board, with reputation not offering protection, though the established creator sometimes received more credit for creative agency than the novice; the hit could not be fully offset by reputation.
Should Artists Admit They Use AI? (ft. Dr. Joel Carnevale)
Q: What was the experiment you conducted recently to test the impact of AI use on the reputation of artists?
The study manipulated whether participants believed the music was created by a highly reputed composer or a novice, and whether AI was used in the creation, to see how reputation and AI disclosure interact to affect evaluations of creativity and credit.
Beyond the Catalog: The KISS Deal and the Future of Music IP
Q: How does this kind of deal shift the thinking about the value of IP?
It introduces a forward-looking component where not only the catalog itself but also future AI-enabled experiences, avatar shows, and new content can contribute to value, leading to higher multiples and more aggressive investment in catalog rights.
Building AI for Music Without Breaking Trust
Q: What happens if the fairness approach doesn't play out in the larger tech and society?
Mike explains that no one is bulletproof and even companies using unethical practices face risks associated with ownership and control.
