The Tea on Advocacy: Protecting Creativity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Date & Time

Reid Wick Karin Bliznik Enrique Chi
Description

This session will dive into how artificial intelligence is reshaping the landscape of music creation—and what’s being done to protect human artistry in the process. Featuring Reid Wick, with Advocacy Committee Co-Chair Karin Bliznik and S&C Committee Co-Chair Suzannah Powell, the conversation will unpack current legislation the Recording Academy is championing to ensure fair protections and recognition for music creators in the age of AI.

Attendees will also hear from artists and songwriters through short video testimonials about AI’s impact on creativity, take part in a digital letter-writing moment to their respective legislators advocating for stronger AI protections, and end with a “popcorn” songwriting experience led by S&C Committee member Enrique Chi – a powerful reminder that human creativity remains the true innovation.

In Partnership with S&C Wing and Advocacy
