Steve Aoki Has No Problem Using Artificial Intelligence To Build Tracks: ‘You Can’t Stop AI… You Just Have To Ride The Wave’
Steve Aoki talks to Billboard about embracing artificial intelligence in making music and the importance of Asian representation in the biz.
The world-beating DJ/producer and cake boss tells Billboard in this week’s cover story that while he’s still a bit of a “novice” at using artificial intelligence to create music, he thinks AI is here to stay and we should all just figure out a way to ride that bucking digital sandworm. For instance, asked if his creativity is based more on experience or data, he says you can’t type “What’s Steve Aoki’s biggest song on the festival circuit?” into a database and get the right answer. As for the possible worst-case-scenario that AI could replace producers and DJs in the future, Aoki says he’s sure the powers-that-be are building in “safeguards” to avoid such a situation now that the digital genie is fully out of the bottle.
