Music production using generative models is rapidly changing the face of the music industry. These new technologies can generate melodies, arrangements, instrumentation, and even the voice of a singer based on a textual description. It seems that this transformation has brought new opportunities for singers and composers, but at the same time, it poses a serious threat to the authenticity of Iranian music works.
New Opportunities for Artists
With the advancement of artificial intelligence, singers and composers can easily create new works using generative tools. This technology not only helps accelerate the music production process but also allows artists to create unique works using existing data. In other words, artificial intelligence can act as a creative collaborator alongside artists.
A Threat to the Authenticity of Works
However, many critics believe that the use of artificial intelligence in music production may lead to a decline in the quality and authenticity of works. Iranian music works, due to their deep cultural and historical roots, require human connection and genuine emotion. Can we expect an algorithm to have the ability to understand and express the emotions embedded in a song?
Moreover, this technology may lead to easier copying of existing works, which could infringe on the rights of authors and artists. In this context, questions arise regarding the intellectual property of produced works, and real artists may be forgotten in the shadow of these technologies.
Ultimately, the entry of artificial intelligence into the realm of Iranian music brings new challenges and opportunities for artists. While some see it as an opportunity for innovation and creativity, others believe it poses a serious threat to the authenticity and cultural values of Iranian music. The future of Iranian music in the world of artificial intelligence depends on our choices.
