What happens to creativity when Artificial Intelligence begins to compose, sing, and feel? The Future of Music and Al by Jeevan Atwal takes readers inside the rapidly evolving world where algorithms are not just tools, but collaborators, composers, and even competitors. From songwriting and streaming to copyright and cultural identity, this book unpacks how Al is reshaping the very foundations of music creation and consumption. Drawing on global case studies, industry insights, and the latest legal developments, from the U.S. and Europe to emerging frameworks in Canada, it explores the promises and tensions of this new frontier: How are artists and producers blending human emotion with machine precision? What happens to authorship, ownership, and royalties in an age of synthetic creativity? Why do questions of consent, authenticity, and transparency matter more than ever? And how policymakers, listeners, and innovators can help define what "real music" means in a digital future? This book is a clear-eyed guide through the cultural, ethical, and artistic transformation already underway. For musicians, technologists, and curious readers alike, it offers a roadmap for understanding-and shaping-the sound of tomorrow.
