​Join us for an in-depth exploration of three pivotal music AI trends that will shape the industry in 2025 — much of which is flying under the mainstream radar.

​In this 90-minute webinar, W&M team members Cherie Hu (Founder), Alexander Flores (CTO), and Yung Spielburg (AI Analyst) will give you a bird's-eye view on the biggest music-tech story of the year, drawing from our research on 200+ music AI startups, 400+ AI news developments, and thousands of academic papers.

​We'll map out the current state of the AI market, followed by a comprehensive breakdown of three key trends:

​1. Synthetic data

​AI developers are investing in synthetic training data to achieve more with less — a paradigm that could undermine traditional models of data licensing between developers and rights holders.

​2. Model controllability

​AI models are advancing to enable more creative customization and agency, and therefore higher quality, in their outputs — raising critical questions about how professional artists will continue to have leverage in an AI-first world.

​3. AI content and copyright detection

​Numerous tools are emerging to detect audio deepfakes, audit training data, and attribute outputs to specific training inputs — establishing a new, if somewhat rocky, foundation for artist rights management and IP protection with AI tools.

​​We'll leave at least 20 minutes at the end for audience Q&A. You will walk away equipped with the improved technical literacy, commercial context, and strategic mindset needed to maximize your work with AI in the upcoming year.

​​Reserve your spot now and be part of the conversation shaping our industry's future!
