AI music generators allow anyone to “create" songs instantly from simple text prompts. The companies that make them are valued at billions of dollars. These platforms have been trained on the sum total of all recorded music, while the companies that make them deny allegations of copyright infringement. So what do they mean for working musicians, educators, and the future of music? Please join us at a special Periodic Tables event for a conversation with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Tift Merritt and composer/guitar legend Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, countless others).
