What is the difference between traditional and generative AI in music licensing?
Traditional AI includes tools like stemming, transcribing lyrics, and similarity search, which help artists work faster. Generative AI creates new content. AudioSocket makes traditional use part of its service, but generative use requires separate permission because it involves new revenue streams.

How will AI affect music licensing demand for human artists?
Miller believes AI will first disrupt background and lyric-free music, where listeners care less about the artist. Music with a human story and authentic connection, like Taylor Swift's fan relationship, will remain differentiated and continue to command value.
