???BULLETIN NEWS:?OpenAI boss on music and AI-training: 'Creators deserve control'
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT and DALL-E) appeared this week before the US Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on privacy, technology and the law. He faced some pointed questions from Senator Marsha Blackburn?on music specifically.
These are welcome words, but for now they remain just that: words. As one of the leaders in the generative AI space, what's important now is how OpenAI's discussions with artists and rightsholders evolve into concrete licensing and business models – because the approach it takes will influence other companies in its sector.

???TOOLS:?Create digital worlds with Medallion
We took a look at the platform??Medallion,?which?uses web3 technology to allow artists to create digital worlds – with the aim of fostering fan communities, driving engagement, and providing actionable insights to unlock new economic opportunities.
Medallion says its mission is to “help artists better connect with fans by allowing them to build direct and personalised experiences.” Artists the company works with include Greta Van Fleet, Jungle, ILLENIUM, Santigold, and Sigur Rós.
The idea is that artists build “tailored creative experiences” based on their fans’ values, that also reflect artists’ individual visions and engage fans in new, immersive ways. Sounds interesting? We dug into the features, pricing and how it works.
