AI is creating a 'human premium' for art made by people. But will it hold?
AI is creating a'human premium' for art made by people. A few weeks back, in a former bank building that's now a music venue in Falmouth, Cornwall, I was DJ-ing at a night I run called Rave Machine. It was a noisy, high-energy, sweaty affair, just as a night's dancing should be. All of the elements - the crowd, performers, staff, music, the journey home - connected to create something special, a one-off. It was also completely human.

Spotify expands its Music Quiz trivia feature
Spotify got on the BTS bandwagon earlier this year, celebrating the band's return to the studio with a trivia game about the K-pop idol group. Now, that Music Quiz feature has been expanded to test fans' knowledge of more than 2,000 artists with questions about "music trivia, album cover art reveals, and audio track previews spanning an artist's music, career, and defining moments." Music Quiz is beginning to roll out today for Premium subscribers in the US, the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, Nigeria, South Africa and Indonesia. The content will be in English at launch, but additional languages and artists will be added over time. The streaming service has built a reputation for offering fun widgets and insights into listening habits, from the splashy year-end Wrapped reports to the liner notes-esque SongDNA to the unfortunately necessary labels for music that's not generative AI.

Indian singer Anuv Jain on finding success without the Bollywood boost

Well according to Anuv Jain it's possible - and you can even create something beautiful.

BBC Newsbeat met Jain as he prepared for the final shows on the European leg of his first world tour to find out why he's taking his time and hoping for the best. It's not about the numbers, Jain tells us backstage, ahead of his sold-out performance at London's Roundhouse. But they do tell a story.
