This panel examines the potential of artificial intelligence to disrupt the traditional hierarchies in the music industry. By leveraging AI, we explore whether it is possible to democratise access and foster equity, enabling artists from underrepresented regions and communities to gain a foothold in the global market. The discussion will focus on AI’s ability to identify and elevate emerging talent, breaking down geographic and socio-economic barriers that have historically limited access to international platforms. The conversation will also address how these shifts could encourage a more varied representation of cultures and genders within the industry. This approach aims to provoke thoughtful debate on how AI could reshape the music industry into a more inclusive and dynamic space, offering new opportunities for artists worldwide.
