Artificial Intelligence: Maximising its efficiencies
AI and how to maximise its efficiencies for music publishers
December 08 at 1600 CET (Brussels)
Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are changing the music industry in many ways: it can influence the way music is composed; it can provide new tools for rights management organisations to help improve data; it can create new streams of revenues, by breaking songs into stems, for example; and it is at the source of the algorithms that are used by music streaming services, among other things. This session will take a look at the impact AI will have on the music publishing sector with AI specialists, rights management experts and innovators.
Speakers: Jessica Powell, Founder/CEO, Audioshake (USA); Bruno Guez, Founder/CEOÂ Revelator (Israel); Barry Scannell, Director of Legal Affairs & Regulatory Compliance, and AI and Music specialist, IMRO (Ireland).
Moderator: Emmanuel Legrand, Editor, Creative Industries News
