Description/Copy Can you really hear the difference between AI and human music anymore? and does it even matter? On this week’s episode of The Big Tech Show, Adrian Weckler speaks to John Corley, chief executive of Spanish Point Technologies, about the rapid rise of AI generated music. With research from Deezer suggesting most listeners cannot tell the difference, the conversation explores copyright, ownership and whether AI is creating or simply remixing human work, and what that means for artists trying to earn a living.

Why has Thiel gone down this route? And where do the likes of Greta Thunberg and Bill Gates fit in?
