- Jean‑Michel Jarre has been using AI in his work since 2018, predating the current AI hype.
- Elton John warned that AI models are trained on copyrighted material without clearance or compensation.
- Dua Lipa echoed similar concerns, joining other musicians in legal fights over AI‑generated content.
- International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers represents creators’ rights and has historically defended against unlicensed use.
- Cannes launched its second AI film festival, appointing Jarre as ambassador, marking a formal industry event for AI cinema.
Why it matters: Artists who adopt AI, like Jarre—who sold 85 million records—stand to unlock new creative revenue streams, while traditionalists risk losing market share as AI‑driven content reshapes licensing and royalty calculations.
