Can Artificial Intelligence Save The Music Industry?

Between 2000 and 2010, the music industry's total grosses dropped from $14 billion to $6 billion. The change from selling albums, to selling single songs, to hoping fans stream songs on repeat has made it tougher to make a living (for mid-level acts, that is; the rich stars are richer than ever, mostly on the back of tours). Anyway, Silicon Valley thinks it can help by introducing artificial intelligence into the mix. But can AI save the music industry? Forbes has a good overview of several startups hoping to make music profitable again.
