AI x Trends, a segment that connects the dots across industries to show you where creativity is really headed.
AI is making waves everywhere. In music, Whitney Houston’s voice has been digitally resurrected for a live symphonic tour, Deezer revealed that one-third of all uploads are now AI-generated, and AI performers like Country Cate are pulling in millions of streams. Platforms like Epidemic Sound are rolling out tools that let creators remix and reshape their songs after release, while sound engineers are already experimenting with AI agents managing live shows. Not everyone is on board, though: Seattle-based musicians are boycotting Spotify over its embrace of AI content, raising questions about ethics and authorship.
In film, AI is evolving from background assistant to true creative collaborator. Editing tools are suggesting cuts, transitions, and even generating entire sequences. Studios are exploring de-aging actors and digital performances, while independent creators use AI to prototype films faster than ever before. This shift forces directors and editors to rethink ownership, workflow, and what counts as “human vision.”
In visual art, generative systems are pumping out images at staggering speed, remixing sketches, and even creating variations of archived works for new exhibitions. For artists, the tension lies between speed and depth: AI can flood the internet with content, but audiences still crave authenticity, intentionality, and the human story behind the work.
The big picture is clear: AI is no longer just a tool. It’s a collaborator, a competitor, and a disruptor. Legacy is becoming data, ownership is getting murky, and creators everywhere are balancing opportunity with risk. Across music, film, and art, the same themes keep emerging—AI speeds things up, challenges trust, and forces every maker to ask: what makes my work stand out?
In this roundup, we don’t just recap the news—we connect it. With AI x Trends, you’ll hear how these stories overlap, what patterns are emerging, and what it means for you as a creator. Whether you’re remixing music, cutting film, painting, or producing digital art, the advice is the same: experiment intentionally, document your authorship, be transparent with your audience, and lean into the one thing AI can’t replicate—your lived experience.
This isn’t just the week’s news. It’s your roadmap to navigating a creative landscape co-written with algorithms.
