In recent months, <a href="https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/AI-music-breaking-onto-charts/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AI music</a> has moved from novelty act into the realm of listenable music. For the first time, AI-generated songs from AI-generated artists are <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/ai-artists-on-billboard-charts/earlier-ai-examples/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">on the Billboard top 100 charts</a>, and more musicians are coming out saying <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/charlie-puth-named-chief-music-officer-of-ai-platform-moises-3933361" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">they use AI in their songwriting process</a>. 
Is this just another tech upgrade to the music-making process or does it signal something bigger in the industry? To investigate, SciFri producer and musician Dee Peterschmidt talks to journalist Kristin Robinson, who covers AI in the music industry, and Laurie Spiegel, an electronic and algorithmic music pioneer.
Guests:
 Kristin Robinson is a senior writer for Billboard, based in Los Angeles, CA.
 Laurie Spiegel is a composer and programmer based in New York, NY
