Singer and songwriter Grimes has revealed that she is working on an artificial intelligence (AI) program that will allow musicians to retain ownership of their music and distribute profits more fairly. Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, has been known to incorporate technology and futuristic themes in her music, and now she’s taking it a step further by developing an AI program that she believes will revolutionize the music industry.
In an interview with The Verge, Grimes explained that the AI program will be designed to give musicians greater control over their music, including the ability to maintain ownership of their copyrights and to receive a fair share of profits. She argues that the current system is broken, with many musicians being forced to sign away their rights to record labels in exchange for exposure and financial backing.
The program will use blockchain technology to ensure that ownership and profits are distributed accurately and transparently. According to Grimes, the AI will also be capable of generating new music based on the artist’s existing work, which could provide a new revenue stream for musicians.
Grimes is not the only artist who has been exploring the potential of AI in music. Other musicians, including Björk and Holly Herndon, have also experimented with AI-generated music. However, Grimes’ program is unique in its focus on ownership and profit-sharing.
Grimes has not provided a timeline for when her AI program will be available, but she is optimistic about its potential to disrupt the music industry. She believes that it could empower musicians and provide them with more agency in the creation and distribution of their music.
