When AI Outpaces Musicians’ Rights: Protecting Human Creativity

In this episode, we talk with Ben Porter — musician, producer, and Brand Evangelist at MatchTune — about the growing tension between AI innovation and protecting human creativity in music.

We dig into the big questions:

• How do we ensure artists keep control of their work in the AI era?

• What does true consent look like for training data?

• Will AI democratize music creation — or drown it in noise?

• How do we preserve human originality as AI output scales?

Ben shares how tech like AI-music detection, licensing tools, and ethical frameworks can help protect musicians while still unlocking new creative possibilities.

This isn’t a hype-fest — it’s a grounded conversation about keeping music human, building trust, and making sure creators get paid in the future we're heading toward.

🎧 Listen in if you care about where music and technology meet — and who benefits as AI reshapes creativity.
