"The Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart has said artificial intelligence is an unstoppable force, and musicians and other artists should bow to the inevitable and license their music to generative AI platforms. These platforms use artificial intelligence to analyse existing songs and tracks, using that knowledge to generate completely new ones as prompted by a user. For example, someone could ask the AI platform to generate a song about a boozy night out in the style of a Britpop band,"
"Everybody should be selling or licensing their voice and their skills to these companies, Stewart said. Otherwise they're just going to take it anyway. That is countered by the companies and big labels, which have said their artists would have to opt into the services and would then receive royalties from the use of the work by AI companies. Stewart, who had nine UK Top 10 albums and as many singles with Eurythmics, forecast big upheavals in the music industry from AI and other forces,"
Generative AI platforms analyse existing songs and tracks to create new compositions based on user prompts and stylistic references. Major labels have begun partnering with AI platforms to enable users to make music based on signed artists or to remix existing songs. Licensing arrangements and royalty frameworks are proposed to allow artist opt‑in and compensation for AI use of their work. Concerns persist about artist control and corporate power, and new ventures aim to give creatives greater ownership and direct control of their work amid rapid technological disruption. The accelerating pace of AI adoption signals potential industry upheaval and structural change.
