Our new One Step Ahead report looking at the impacts of artificial intelligence is out and can be found here.
The report and its main findings will be presented at our next Digital Hour webinar taking place on Thursday 20/07 at 3pm CET. IMPALA members can contact their national associations to register.
This report follows a brainstorming discussion by the IMPALA board on the topic and looks in particular at the opportunities and challenges for the independent label community, including:
- What things AI can do – and what things it can’t
- How legal frameworks and copyright are dealing with the new challenges presented by artificial intelligence and generative AI
- Practical benefits and opportunities of AI for labels
- How AI can enhance, accelerate or streamline creative and operational processes
- The challenges, opportunities and complexities of generative AI and the music business – including licensing, attribution and monetisation.
One Step Ahead is an IMPALA-led project, piloted by IMPALA’s digital committee, in partnership with CMU Insights and with the support of Merlin.
