Es wird erwartet, dass die KI kreative Prozesse um viele neue Möglichkeiten erweitert, ohne Arbeit zu ersetzen, sondern zu unterstützen. Umso größer sind die Erwartungen seitens der Unternehmen an die Entwicklungen im Vertrieb von Musik. Was sind die Konsequenzen und Implikationen? Welche neuen Geschäftsmodelle können wir erwarten? Wie wird sich das auf KünstlerInnen auswirken?
Im Anschluss an das Panel wird Violistin Weiping Lin (AT/TW) mit Bach Hauer Scelsi Cage auftreten.
