Dancehall Queen @spiceofficial joined in from the audience during Day 2 of the Island Music Conference where the panel was discussing how to make money on DSPs and the rise of AI in music. Spice said AI isn’t new, pointing to Auto-Tune as proof that tech has always been part of music. She believes as AI songs grow, fans will start searching for more authenticity, creating more opportunity for real talent including in songwriting. YouTube exec Tuma Basa agreed mid-discussion, backing her point while @islandmusicconference chairman @direalshaggy added that AI could push artists to rise above mediocrity. Is AI helping or hurting the culture? 👀 #IslandMusicConference #aimusic #AIMusic #MusicBusiness #JamaicaObserver
