Spotify's Scientist: Artificial Intelligence should be embraced, not feared, by the music business - Music Business Worldwide

Pop music made by actual robots is here… and it sounds considerably better than you might think. Hello World, released earlier this month via Flow Records, is being touted as'the first multi-artist commercial album created using Artificial Intelligence'. The LP has been recorded by French collective SKYGGE, in collaboration with the likes of Canadian chart-topper Kiesza and Belgian pop star Stromae… and, of course, those all important computers. SKYGGE is led by composer, author and producer Benoit Carré, alongside a gentlemen who is becoming increasingly well-known (and slightly fretted about?) in music business circles: François Pachet. Pachet (pictured) is the world's foremost scientist in the field of AI-assisted music creation.
