Hozier Would Consider Strike Over AI Threat to Music
Hozier has said he would consider striking over the threat artificial intelligence (AI) poses to his industry. Hollywood actors and writers are currently striking over a row about better contracts and protection from the use of AI.
Hozier told the BBC's Newsnight he would be willing to join similar strike action in the music industry.
‘Generative AI is set to revolutionize the music business.’
Voice-mimicking AI tech has caused a big stir in the music business this year due to incidents of superstars’ voices being cloned without their consent – and then going viral.
‘Dolby Atmos is not just a gimmick. Music in 3D has the potential to replace Stereo.’
In music, Spatial Audio (powered by Dolby Atmos technology for example) delivers a more immersive experience than Stereo, and sounds like the different parts of a recording are coming from all directions around the listener.
“People who listen to a decent Dolby Atmos mix for the very first time are often blown away by this new listening experience,” says Matthias Stalter, founder and CEO of ThreeDee Music, a company that specializes in Spatial Audio production.
Scaling and monetising communities
As the world tires of social media’s relentless attention economy, digital citizens are looking for deeper engagement with smaller groups. In building for this new emerging need, social media’s playbook for scaling users and revenue doesn’t apply – but there are alternative, powerful growth flywheels and new ways to monetise community spaces.
