Artificial intelligence is the hot topic in the music world. SOCAN has repeatedly stated its determination to ensure that AI respects and protects copyright, and that it’s a priority for us to defend the interests of our creator members in Québec. But where do those songwriters and composers – artists who make music with their souls, and their very human intelligence – think about this issue? Do they see AI as an opportunity, or as a threat to their creativity and copyright?
We asked 17 of them that very question during our interviews at the ADISQ Gala in the Fall of 2024: CRi, Andréanne A. Malette, Debbie Tebbs, Alexandre Poulin, Aliocha, Pierre Flynn, Alexandra Stréliski, Sara Dufour, Roch Voisine, Viviane Audet, Robin-Joël Cool, Léonie Gray, Barnev, Pierre Lapointe, Corneille, Roxane Bruneau and Mathieu Brisset.
