Mark Zuckerberg shared his thoughts on AI’s place in the music industry.
CEO Meta shared that AI can lead to some “interesting” but “lifeless” traces during his appearance on Follow the star show.
While there, he took a test in which he had to identify songs within seconds of hearing them. That’s when he shared his love with various artists, including Olivia Rodrigo and Daft Punk. The latter he considered one of the main artists he listened to while coding Facebook back in the day.
Halfway through, Zuckerberg correctly identified a Green Day song. That’s when he was asked if he believed a band – with the help of AI – could be “as good as” Green Day.
“AI will probably make music that is technically interesting,” Zuckerberg replied. But sometimes it can feel a bit lifeless because the other parts of human connection are missing.”
His words come just months after Meta CEO made headlines for endorsing open source AI. Musically reported that in August, Zuckerberg touted his company’s open approach to its AI models “in contrast to the more closed operations of the big disruptors in that field.”
Zuckerberg’s words were backed up by Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, who joined him in sharing a joint blog post, encouraging European regulators to get involved.
