    Is AI Finally Coming For Our Jobs?

    In this week’s edition Julian and  Ashea are joined by Reid Caulfield, where they discuss a recent article from the LA Times and ask ‘Is AI coming for our jobs, and should we be worried?’

    Talking Points:
    LA Times Article:
    https://www.latimes.com/.../ai-artificial-intelligence...
    From the article:
    "In the music and sound-recording industry, the tasks most likely to  be affected by AI are voice generation and cloning, music generation and  recording and lyrics composition,  followed by mastering, mixing and  tools programming, according to the study.
    More than 50% of survey  participants anticipated that AI would displace sound designers in the  next three years, while more than 40% saw AI coming for music editors,  audio technicians and sound engineers. Roughly a third of respondents  predicted a similar fate for songwriters, composers and studio  engineers."
    Our thoughts on the survey
    Bearing this in mind how should audio professional go about keeping themselves valuable (better than A.I)?
    How can we use A.I to our advantage?
