As an avid follower of Blockchain and AI, I've been keeping abreast of the developments in the field, particularly in chat3 and AI, which has seen a surge in online availability and a proliferation of ownership issues. As a content producer, I collaborate with photographers and filmmakers, and we share a common concern.
Recent developments, such as David Guetta using an AI-generated Eminem vocal in one of his tracks, highlight the need for solutions that protect the rights of digital asset creators and owners and ensure they receive proper credit and compensation for their work.
In light of these challenges, the work of Imogen Heap, the celebrated singer-songwriter and producer, is particularly noteworthy. Imogen has made significant contributions in using blockchain technology that could resolve some of the most pressing issues related to AI in the media and entertainment industries. She strongly advocates creating a more fair, transparent, and equitable music ecosystem.
Her most prominent initiative in the area of blockchain is "Mycelia for Music," a platform that offers musicians a secure and decentralized way to manage their music and receive payments for their work. The platform leverages the transparency and security of blockchain technology to establish a transparent chain of custody for music and other creative works, ensuring that artists are fairly compensated for their contributions.

In addition to "Mycelia for Music," Imogen is also actively involved in other initiatives that aim to transform the music industry through blockchain. She is working to improve the royalty tracking process, reduce intermediaries in the music industry, and provide fans direct access to their favorite artists.
Imogen's passion for using blockchain to create a better music industry, combined with advancements in technology, regulations, and societal norms, has the potential to determine the appropriate use of AI in various contexts and maximize its benefits while minimizing any negative.

2 年to me this is one of the most exciting promises of decentralization… to dissolve the bloated capitalist hierarchies and facilitate a more fluid economy of rightful ownership. giving power back to the creators i wonder if we could create an NFT protocol that gives artists royalties when using their music to train AI models. fair use for AI, just allow for equitable compensation
