Mondo is excited to partner with the RIAA for its 11th annual series – a multi-panel look at where the music industry is headed, exploring key policy issues shaping the music business, from technology and AI to investment, IP protection, coalition building and artist advocacy. We’ll cap it off with a fireside chat a post-event reception.

Four years after ChatGPT's debut, AI’s impact on the industry continues to evolve. This multi-panel track, curated by LANDR Audio's Daniel Rowland and AudioShake's Jessica Powell, explores how AI and related technologies are changing the way music is created, produced, distributed and monetized, from new tools and formats to broader implications around ethics, copyright, quality standards and artist protection. We also explore the “last mile” of music delivery to fans as platforms enable new ways of listening and interacting with music, from creator tools to immersive mixing and everything in between.

Panel agenda:

• Creatives in Tech: Moving from Label & Creative Work into Music Tech
• AI and New Licensing Opportunities
• State of AI in Music
• Creative & Business Challenges in Gen AI Music
• AI and Music Education
