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.

Music Tech Europe Association is building a series of closed, expert roundtables across Europe to tackle one of the most pressing questions in the music sector: how do we build shared knowledge around AI, across the music industry, the AI industry, and the artists navigating both?

Athens Forum focuses on a structural gap: music companies and artists often approach AI without the knowledge to use it well, while AI companies often approach music without understanding how the sector actually works. The result is friction, mistrust, and missed opportunity 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.
