INTRODUCTION & DEFINITION:
AI within the music industry surrounds a wide concept of technologies and applications, all with one sole purpose to enhance, automate, or transform the processes of music creation, production, and consumption. By creating algorithms within the music culture using streaming data, AI can generate a streamlined production of music development. whilst AI can be used ethically and to advantage within the industry, it also is progressing and developing at scary rates, leading to more negative issues surrounding AI in the Music Industry
Firstly, WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE… otherwise known as AI, AI is the ability for a computer or program designed and programmed to perform tasks that are commonly associated with human tasks and characteristics without the assistance of human intervention What is AI URL
WHY IS IT AN ISSUE:
AI in the music industry is growing and developing with artificial intelligence taking over a wide scale of roles within the industry, with up-and-coming concerns rising about job displacement and mental and living impacts upon current and emerging musicians' livelihoods.
Jobs are the key topic of conversation regarding the risk of loss in humans in the music industry due to the constantly developing AI technology. AI system's ability to compose music, generate rhythms and beats, and even one of the more confronting ones replicate an artist’s stylistic ability. This puts the traditional human roles within the music Industry at threat, leading to fewer opportunities for production and performance. Why is it an Issue URL

Economic Impact:
With the displacement of jobs, the ability for musicians to create income is threatened, leading musicians into financial instability. The music industry alone is one of the hardest sectors to become successful in, with few Musicians, songwriters, producers, and sound techs already struggling towards stable income. With already high competition within the music industry, the increase in AI technology could significantly impact the daily lives of current or emerging musicians.
Creative Value:
Music, a creative outlet for many, is slowly being overtaken by computers and AI technology. It is a key part of music to be able to create emotional depth and have an emotional response, which musicians portray through their music by different genres. With discussion of AI taking over is creating an overall disconnect from human interaction and sense of belonging losing the element that gains a response that resonates with a broad spectrum of audiences
WHO IS AFFECTED BY AI IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND WHAT THE EFFECTS ARE:
1. Musicians - This can reduce their opportunities for earning a living through music.
2. Music Producers and Engineers - AI tools can perform all the digital editing elements and break and refine final pieces
3. Songwriters - AI can now generate lyrics and melodies, decreasing the necessity of human lyricists.
4. Consumers - lacks the personal touch or depth of human-created music.
HOW THE USE OF AI HAPPENS BEHIND THE SCENES:
As many people will notice through using different apps and platforms, AI technology is gaining strength in creating not only music but also personalized algorithms, promoting genres of music favoring people's likes, and finding patterns in their listening and song requests. AI can analyse music trends and consumer listening consumption and use it to predict the types of music which would be possibly liked, this tool can also be used in music to create marketing.

VIDEO ANALYSIS OF THE WEBSITE USING CRAAP
WEBSITE CHOSEN:
Unveiling the Impacts and Disruption of AI on Music Industry Stakeholders
When I first went searching for a website on my topic I landed across this website (linked above ... analysed below in video) I was quick to find that the content contained in the website wouldn't be enough for me to create this blog post using credible information which covered a range of topics, with further looking into this website I started to find subtle things about it which weren't fully creditable, therefor I decided to use it as my analysis website.
WHY I USED THE CRAAP METHOD:
I broke it down into the CRAAP analysis method as it was easy to break it down into its main components. with CURRENCY - RELEVANCY - AUTHORITY - ACCURACY - PURPOSE being the key areas to break the text down to, I could analyse the website methodically.
RELEVANCY - if the article stays on topic with a key focus, as well as keeping to a target audience
AUTHORITY - identify where the information was primarily sourced, any accreditations/ URLs
ACCURACY - if the article provides consistency throughout in its facts and information
PURPOSE - what the intent of the article, whether it is to inform, persuade, and or what's the opinion
