ABBA's Bjorn Ulvaeus writing new musical with AI: "Such a great tool"
Briefly

Björn Ulvaeus, a member of ABBA, spoke at SXSW London about his new musical, using AI as a creative aid. He described being three-quarters through the writing process, highlighting AI as a tool that enhances song development by providing new ideas. However, Ulvaeus also pointed out AI's shortcomings in creating entire songs and writing lyrics. He raised concerns about potential income loss for music creators due to poorly regulated AI, reinforcing the need for balance in embracing this technology while safeguarding artists' livelihoods.
Right now, I'm writing a musical, assisted by AI. It is such a great tool. It is like having another songwriter in the room with a huge reference frame.
AI has the power to unlock new and exciting opportunities - but we have to accept that, if badly regulated, generative AI also has the power to cause great damage to human creators.
