Music & AI Forum “Knowledge as Infrastructure” – by Music Tech Europe

This event is accessible by invitation only, in order to ensure a focused and high-quality exchange among participants.

The Music Tech Europe Association is developing a series of closed, expert roundtables across Europe to address one of the most pressing questions facing the music sector today: how can we build shared knowledge around AI across the music industry, the AI ecosystem, and the artists navigating both?

The Athens Forum focuses on a clear structural gap. Music companies and artists are increasingly engaging with AI without always having the frameworks or understanding to use it effectively. At the same time, AI companies often approach the music sector without a deep understanding of how it actually operates. The result is friction, mistrust, and missed opportunities on both sides.

The session explores two sides of the same challenge:

AI meets music: How are AI companies approaching the music sector? Where does their understanding fall short?
Music meets AI: How are music companies and artists engaging with AI in practice? What knowledge frameworks are still missing?

This event is accessible by invitation only.
