Artificial intelligence use has recently become top of mind for many of us, especially those of us in creative industries like sound and music. So, I wasn’t completely surprised when Soundgirls invited me to take part in an panel at their upcoming virtual conference regarding AI in the sound industry. I had an intensely fun and engaging first conversation with the other panelists, each of whom are in different areas of the sound industry, where we shared our personal hopes and fears. But it occurred to me that I would love to hear what your thoughts are on AI.
I wasn’t invited to sit on the panel because I’m an AI expert or software engineer, and there are certainly far more qualified professionals to educate the public about AI. I was invited as a sound design and mixing professional and studio owner. So, in that capacity, I would love to serve as an ambassador for our community to help address our areas of concern and steer the real experts to answer the questions that we care about the most.
Plus, in this time of exponential technological change and growth, which we are now on the precipice of, I think it would be amazing to devote more of our future blog space to researching and exploring this important topic. So, I’m inviting you to share your thoughts, questions, and experiences to help guide the conversation.
Thank you in advance, and I sincerely look forward to hearing what excites and unnerves our community about AI so that we can start a forward-thinking conversation about it.
