SUMMARY:‘Responsible AI Futures’ Hybrid Seminar Series – Universal Music Group
DESCRIPTION:Responsible AI in the Creative Industries – A Perspective from Universal Music Group\nWatch now:\n\n \n\n\nAI in the service of artists and creativity is a wonderful thing. But AI that uses\, or worse yet\, appropriates their work – or their name\, image\, likeness\, or voice – without authorisation is not. \nThroughout all the technological revolutions\, Universal Music Group has had a long history of embracing innovation. AI is no different\, with UMG working to empower artists with AI’s benefits\, while at the same time protecting their rights. \nThis talk will examine recent developments in the field of AI and how they impact artists and the creative industries at large. While focused on music\, key opportunities and threats can be extrapolated across multiple arts-led sectors. The lecture will also seek to define what Responsible AI means for the creative industries and what AI developers\, policy makers and other practitioners can do to help shape an ecosystem that balances innovation with rewarding human artistry. \n\n\n\n\nAbout Universal Music Group:\nUniversal Music Group’s mission is to shape culture through the power of artistry. \nA community of entrepreneurs committed to creativity and innovation\, UMG owns and operates a broad array of businesses engaged in recorded music\, music publishing\, merchandising\, and audiovisual content in more than 60 countries. \nUMG identifies and develops recording artists and songwriters\, and produces\, distributes and promotes the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful music to delight and entertain fans around the world. \nIts vast catalog of recordings and songs stretches back over a century and comprises the largest\, most diverse and culturally rich collection of music ever assembled. \nAs digital technology refashions the world\, UMG’s unmatched commitment to lead in developing new services\, platforms and business models for the delivery of music and related content empowers innovators and allows new commercial and artistic opportunities to flourish. \nKnowing that music\, a powerful force for good in the world\, is unique in its ability to inspire people and bring them together\, UMG works with artists and employees to serve our communities. \nUMG is the home for music’s greatest artists\, innovators and entrepreneurs. \n\n\n\n\nBio\nCasandra Strauss\, Director\, New Digital Business & Innovation\, Global Digital Strategy\, Universal Music Group \nCasandra joined UMG’s Global Digital Strategy team in Apr 2022\, and works in a dual remit.
