Indie Week always brings together important conversations, and this year was no exception. It was great to have ARA Executive Director Jen Jacobsen join Linda Bloss-Baum and Josh Hurvitz for the Regulating AI While Protecting Creativity panel to discuss responsible AI development, why independent creators deserve a seat at the table, and how artists and songwriters can be part of shaping and participating in the AI music marketplace. Thanks to A2IM for bringing this event together and for all you do to support the independent music community.
