Music Industry Disruption: Comparing Traditional and Popular Music in the Artificial Intelligence Era
Abstract
This chapter analyzes how artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes the structures, practices, and values of the music industry, focusing on traditional and popular music. It highlights shifting creative roles, changing production dynamics, ethical and regulatory concerns, and AI's impact on preserving and transforming cultural heritage. The discussion outlines historical shifts from the pre-AI era to the digital age, addressing algorithmic processes, opportunities and risks in creation and distribution, and the implications of AI for communal intellectual property in traditional music. It also examines how AI influences the economics of popular music through streaming models, automated production, and recommendation systems, while noting risks such as data colonialism, cultural loss, and blurred authenticity. The chapter concludes that AI offers major potential for innovation and preservation but also poses challenges to community rights, creative economy structures, and fair value distribution.
