Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You Don't Know Your Fans (And It's Costing You)
Q: What's the biggest problem that you think is facing the music industry today, Rob?
The core issue is artists not knowing who their fans are, which prevents them from owning the fan relationship and maximizing revenue through direct engagement.
Adam Neely on the Hidden Cost of AI Music
Q: Do you use any AI tools in your workflow currently?
Yes, mainly stem separation tools for education and production; I avoid fully generative AI for music creation due to concerns about data provenance and licensing.
Adam Neely on the Hidden Cost of AI Music
Q: What's your take on the future of music in a best-case scenario?
A best-case scenario would have everybody paid and listening to music created by humans using technology in meaningful, culturally respectful ways, though the exact model remains unclear.
Music is Getting Physical Again (in the Age of AI)- AlgoRhythms 2026
Q: What are you seeing in terms of how AI is changing the creation and distribution of music?
Olivia explains that AI enables new creative outputs but raises concerns about attribution and the need for fair compensation when artworks are used to train models.
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.
