\n\tAs the music industry wrestles with how to incorporate, and value, AI work, a third of artists are already using it for some form of inspiration.<\/p>\n

A new study from the Boston\u2019s prestigious Berklee College of Music found that 33 percent of respondents \u00a0\u201cuse AI to generate initial ideas, melodies, or reference tracks that are later reworked.\u201d\u00a0Perhaps even more surprisingly, a number nearly as large put it in the final product\u00a0\u2014\u00a0about 26 percent of artists\u00a0\u201cuse AI for full backing tracks in finished work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHad we done this study 18 months ago, these numbers would have been a lot lower,\u201d Mark Ethier, who helped run the research, told\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, \u201cand from that perspective it\u2019s pretty shocking.\u201d<\/p>\n

A somewhat smaller percentage, 18 percent, will play with the tools in the creation process but keep them out of the released track.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut in contrast to conventional\u00a0wisdom newer musicians were\u00a0less<\/em>\u00a0likely to use AI: artists who were \u201cjust starting out\u201d used AI in \u201cany way\u201d at a rate of 56 percent while \u201cfull time\u201d creators did so all the way to the tune of 92 percent.<\/p>\n

The study was conducted by the Berklee Emerging Artistic Technology Lab (BEATL), where Ethier serves as executive director, as part of the AIMS: AI Music Summit the school just held on its campus Wednesday-Friday and focused on AI music in video, as opposed to artists recording only sounds; the numbers of course could be different in that population.<\/p>\n

The Berklee study was conducted among more than 1,000 people associated with the music business, from artists to marketers, music supervisors and video creators.<\/p>\n

\n\tJim Lucchese, Berklee\u2019s president, told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that\u00a0he saw the numbers as evidence not only of sharply divided opinions on AI among artists but different attitudes even within the group of those embracing the tech.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re seeing a high level of individual creative agency in how differently AI can be used, from a composition tool to just pushing your skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study comes at a time when the music industry is grappling with how to use AI generations in the work and how artists should be compensated when they do. On Friday, the American Federation of Musicians\u00a0sued\u00a0Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group over a settlement the giants made with AI music firms Suno and Udio, alleging that the labels \u201chave refused to compensate the musicians whose work \u2026 is fed into AI machines for profit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn keeping with the significant minority using it for initial ideas, 31 percent of Berklee respondents use AI for\u00a0\u201clyric generation,\u201d\u00a0presumably in finished work.<\/p>\n

\n\tThose who do incorporate AI into their music may be limiting their potential audience, however. A THR<\/em>\/Frost School of Music poll from the fall\u00a0found that\u00a052 percent of respondents were\u00a0\u201cnot interested\u201d in listening to music from their favorite artists made with the help of AI.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to established artists sprinkling AI into their work, the past year has seen hits from entirely synthetic acts that involved no playing of instruments, from Breaking Rust\u2019s\u00a0country smash\u00a0\u201cWalk My Walk\u201d\u00a0to Saxboy Billy\u2019s\u00a0electropop TikTok sensation \u201cThe Puerto Rico Song.\u201d<\/p>\n

The music business has been particularly wracked by AI changes given the industry\u2019s long history of incorporating new technologies\u00a0along with the fact that an AI generation can be harder to spot than in a video, which for now can still sometimes descend into the uncanny valley.<\/p>\n

Supporters argue technology and sampling have long been a part of the soundscape; opponents say releasing music derived, fundamentally, from what someone else wrote is neither original nor ethical.<\/p>\n

As has been the case with podcasts, video is playing an increasing role in launching a successful music career. More than 75 percent of those Berklee asked said they believe it \u201cdirectly shapes career outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n
