Johnny began his presentation with a lively AI-generated musical performance, immediately engaging the audience. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to speak and acknowledged the significance of the topic at hand: the future of music through the lens of artificial intelligence. However, he recognized that discussing the "future" can feel presumptuous, as the essence of music has always been about re-signification—a theme that echoes through its past, present, and, undoubtedly, its future.
He noted that the music played at the start was not just a product of AI but involved considerable human intervention. This highlights a crucial point: while AI can generate music, it often requires the creative touch and direction of a skilled producer to truly resonate.
