Google & Universal working on AI "deepfake" tool, LL Cool J on AI

Plus Justin the DJ shows you how to grow your IG following & more...

First “Fake Drake” and now this? In a groundbreaking development, Google is working with Universal Music Group to usher in a new era of AI-generated music by officially licensing the use of artists' melodies and vocals.

The result? A potentially monumental shift in the landscape of music creation.

LL Cool J, the Hip-Hop legend, shared his insights on the use of artificial intelligence in the music industry during a fireside chat titled "The Business of Building Hip Hop: The Next 50 Years" at Nasdaq Marketsite.

He views AI as a tool, emphasizing that it only becomes a problem when people are afraid of it. He likened AI to other technological advancements, stating that it can be used positively or negatively, like a "nuclear bomb" or a "nuclear reactor that creates energy." The key, according to LL Cool J, lies in how we embrace and utilize AI to our benefit.

Crate Hacker Aaron Traylor introduces four innovative AI tools to supercharge music organization and discovery for DJs. These tools include Maroofy, a website that recommends songs with similar vibes to ones you already have, new AI music, a directory of trending AI songs, Better Speech, an AI-powered speech therapy platform, and DJ Chat, a chatbot specifically designed for DJs.
