Popular singer Jaywon has said that Artificial Intelligence shouldn’t replace creativity in the music industry. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that he is excited about Nigerian music becoming more global by the day, Jaywon stated that while AI is not a bad tool, it has to be used responsibly to preserve the value of music.
The “This Year” crooner added that preserving genuine talent, artistry and originality should be top priority from now on.
His words, “What excites me the most is seeing Nigerian music become truly global.
Today, our music is played on the biggest stages in the world, and it is a proud moment to see institutions such as the Grammys recognise afrobeats with its own category.
Social media has also changed everything. Before, artistes depended heavily on radio and television, but now talented people can promote themselves directly and reach audiences worldwide.
My biggest concern is the rapid growth of artificial intelligence in music. AI itself is not bad; it is a tool.
We should use it to improve our creative process, not replace creativity.
My concern is that, if it is not used responsibly, it could water down the value of music because creating music is becoming easier than ever.
The challenge will always be preserving genuine talent, artistry and originality.”
