What comes to mind when you think about artificial intelligence (AI)? Do you think about robots taking over the world?

If so, you’re probably not too far off the reality. True, we don’t have robots walking down neighborhood streets alongside humans. Robots are, however, present in practically everything we use. DJs already use a basic form of AI when we use computer software. If you make a habit of streaming music, you’re able to find the music you want with the help of AI. If you’re a producer who uploads original music to streaming websites, you’re able to get paid with the help of AI technology.

Music streaming technology – and the ability to properly pay musicians – is still in its infancy. We have a long way to go before that whole process is streamlined and efficient. There are now a bunch of tech start-ups who have turned their attention to solving those problems using artificial intelligence.

Check out who they are and how they can help you as a DJ or as a producer here.
