    What happens when some of the world’s biggest music and AI pioneers come together to rethink creativity itself? In this landmark AI for Good conversation, Grammy-winning artist John Legend joins senior leaders from the global music industry and the companies building the next generation of generative AI to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming music creation, production, discovery and human expression. Featuring executives from Universal Music Group, NVIDIA, Stability AI, Splice and Udio, the discussion will tackle the industry’s biggest questions: How do we protect artists while embracing innovation? Can AI unlock entirely new forms of creativity and collaboration? Could intelligent systems help us understand music, emotion and human creativity in fundamentally new ways? From copyright and compensation to AI-powered creativity tools and the future relationship between artists and machines, this session explores the opportunities, tensions and breakthroughs defining the next era of music. Part cultural debate, part glimpse into the future, this is a conversation about who creates, who benefits and what music itself could become in the age of AI.
