Songwriting and Recording in the World of AI: How Do We Survive?

By August 26, 2025No Comments

Music is standing at a crossroads.

AI-generated music is flooding the market faster than we’ve ever seen before. According to a new report from CISAC (the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers), as much as 24% of songwriter revenues could disappear to AI by 2028. That’s more than 5 billion dollars a year!

But what does that really mean for you – the songwriter, the player, the singer, the producer?

At Nashville Nights, we’re hosting a thought-provoking talk with Tim Wipperman, CEO of Humanable – a true voice in the music industry, not just following the changes, but helping to shape them.

Wipperman is the real deal: nearly three decades as head of Warner Chappell Music Nashville, later driving forces at Equity Records, Anthem Entertainment, ONErpm, and now Humanable – a platform created to strengthen and protect human creativity in an age when algorithms are closing in.

🎙️ What can you expect from this talk?

  • A straight-up look at the threat of AI-generated music

  • Practical ideas on how songwriters and producers can adapt – without losing authenticity

  • Insights into how the global industry is fighting to protect copyright and human creativity

  • A chance to ask questions and join the conversation

In a time when machines can copy sounds, structures, and moods – how do we make sure the human voice doesn’t get drowned out?
