Publishing in the AI Age

3 PM - Publishing in the AI Age By: Margaret McGuffin from Music Publishers Canada Join Margaret McGuffin from Music Publishers Canada for a discussion on developing your career in songwriting, production and music publishing. Topics include an overview of Canada’s music publishing sector, the royalties that you are owed and licensing in the era of AI. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into the creative ecosystem, it is important that creators and the companies that invest in them have a voice in shaping the future, that their works are not used without their knowledge or consent, and that the value of human creativity is recognized and fairly compensated.
