The Future of Music Streaming in the Age of AI: Discovery, Creation, and Compensation

As artificial intelligence reshapes the music industry, streaming platforms stand at critical crossroads. This panel brings together the views from industry experts, artists, and technologists to explore how AI is transforming every aspect of music streaming—from personalized discovery algorithms and AI-generated playlists to synthetic music creation and evolving royalty structures. We'll tackle the pressing questions facing the industry: How will streaming services balance AI-curated content with human editorial voices? What happens when AI-generated music floods platforms— can the listeners actually tell the difference between AI generated music and human made music and do they care? Ipsos/ Deezer have done research on this and will present the main outcomes.

How can solutions like labelling help real artists in distinguishing their content from AI music ? Who is responsible for the labelling ? Can recommendation systems move beyond echo chambers to foster genuine musical discovery? And critically, how do we ensure fair compensation for artists in an AI-augmented ecosystem?

Join us for a dynamic conversation about the opportunities and challenges ahead, as we examine how streaming platforms can harness AI's potential while preserving what makes music fundamentally human: creativity, cultural expression, and the irreplaceable connection between artists and listeners.
