“As a creator personally and as the representative for Music Producers, Mixers and Recording Engineers through the Music Producers Guild (MPG) we remain hopeful about the innovative possibilities AI brings to the table. However, there are crucial concerns that demand attention.

“It is clear from the dialogue we have with our members and wider stakeholder community that generative AI poses a major conundrum for the music industry. Music has been a great adopter of new technology, and we are excited about the huge potential that AI opens up.

The launch of AI:OK is a really positive development to help unlock that conundrum by allowing us to identify and use AI technologies that have been developed and are operated in an ethical and responsible way.”
