No Rhythm In The Algorithm – AI in music

The rise of AI-generated music has sparked major controversy, particularly around companies training models on copyrighted music without permission.

Dr Sophie Freeman from the University of Melbourne joined 2SER Breakfast with Danny Chifley to break down how AI is reshaping the music industry – and what is being done to protect artists in this rapidly changing landscape.
