DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AI in less than a year has reshaped the boundaries of multimedia and art, rocking the foundations of human endeavour, and disrupting all perceptions of what is possible in the new AI era.  Yet, fears that it's apparent super intelligence can take-over all concepts of human creativity are overblown, and for the world's artists, creatives, and musicians, AI has rather democratised creativity, serving as a fertile ground for new artistic movements, according to tech experts.

Key Points: 
  • "I sincerely believe that AI will help humans discover new sounds and genres of music, however the greatest art, including music, comes directly from human emotions," says Darroodi, a speaker at GITEX GLOBAL's Ai Everything conference in Dubai next week.
  • The human 'emotional fingerprint' will still be required to create great music and art, and I see AI as a tool for creation, not as the creator."
  • Darroodi said the initial reaction to any leap in technology in humanity is fear and resistance, but this quickly dissipates as perceived utility increases.
  • AI is not only going to be part of our lives, it's going to define the future of our lives and the future of humanity."
