Dre calls AI 'a new tool for creativity' amid worries
Hip-hop legend Dr. Dre is all in on using AI to make music, calling it "a new tool for creativity."
He compared today's worries about AI to the old days when people doubted drum machines and synthesizers, saying resistance usually comes from not wanting to adapt.
Streaming platforms to label AI content
Dre shared that he's already experimenting with AI in his own music, joining other big names like Timbaland. With icons like him on board, AI could become more accepted in music production.
Meanwhile, Apple Music will begin to label songs derived from AI platforms later this year, and Spotify is starting to label artist profiles that appear to be AI-generated as "AI Personas," and major industry groups want clear tags, kind of like explicit content warnings, so listeners know when tech is behind the tracks.
