Apple Music o sztucznej inteligencji i przyszłości tworzenia muzyki
Podczas konferencji Web Summit w Lizbonie Ole Obermann, współprowadzący Apple Music, wraz z DJ-em Arminem van Buurenem omówili wpływ technologii na przemysł muzyczny.
Jak donosi iFeed, Obermann i van Buuren pojawili się na scenie ostatniego dnia Web Summit w Lizbonie, aby omówić, w jaki sposób technologia zmienia branżę muzyczną, od rozwoju streamingu po rosnącą rolę sztucznej inteligencji w produkcji muzycznej.
Obermann, który w poprzednich latach uczestniczył w wydarzeniu jako dyrektor wykonawczy ByteDance, stwierdził, że „przed nami złota era”, w której technologia umożliwia szerszy dostęp, więcej możliwości odkrywania i głębsze powiązania między artystami a fanami.
Kiedy temat przeszedł na sztuczną inteligencję, van Buuren powiedział Obermannowi, że już włączył narzędzia sztucznej inteligencji do swojego arsenału produkcji muzycznej, przytaczając praktyczny przykład, w którym zmienił głos męskiego piosenkarza na głos żeńskiej piosenkarki z pomocą sztucznej inteligencji.
Mimo rosnącej roli technologii, Obermann podkreślił znaczenie ludzkiego elementu i autentyczności w muzyce. Armin van Buuren chwalił też technologię Spatial Audio Apple Music, która wzmocniła odbiór jego nowego albumu „Piano”, nagranego w całości w jednym podejściu.

@pluralistic Just want to say your talk today at the #WebSummit was brilliant.
The most honest and relevant in a nauseating overload of big tech brown-nosing, FOMO-inducing speakers and "AI at all cost" ambassadors.
Just want to say thanks. Your voice, important leadership and message is valued, being heard and heeded by many!

Weekly output: Internet founders in D.C., Tim Berners-Lee at Web Summit, Bluesky account-verification advice
This holiday-shortened week still had a lot of work–just not all the kind that yielded bylines, in some cases not the kind that will yield bylines this year.
11/25/2024: Internet Founders: Open Architectures Are Best, But Big Tech Makes It Difficult, PCMag
As I wrote last week, it’s a treat seeing Internet pioneers speak about how their collective invention has been working out and what we ought to be doing with it.
11/27/2024: The man who gave us the web is building a better digital wallet, Fast Company
My Fast Company editor Harry McCracken asked if I wanted to join him to quiz the inventor of the Web at Web Summit, and I quickly said I’d clear my schedule for that. Like two years ago, Harry asked most of the questions and then wrote up our conversation.
11/29/2024: Real or Imposter? How to Verify That a Bluesky Account Is Legit, PCMag
My inspiration for this how-to came from seeing some bozo try to impersonate Rep. Don Beyer (D.-Va.) on Bluesky, then wondering why my congressman had not domain-verified his account with a house.gov handle, then personally shaming Bay Area Rapid Transit into tweeting its Bluesky handle from its verified X account (BART has since domain-verified its account). My editors then updated the post Sunday with details from posts Friday afternoon by Bluesky’s safety account about how the platform is dealing with this impersonation problem–including a recognition that “users want more ways to verify their identity beyond domain verification.”

I’m off to Lisbon tonight–my last booked business travel of the year–for Web Summit. It’s now been eight years since I started speaking at that event, and this year’s version of the conference will bring a painful parallel to 2016’s as I once again will have Europeans asking me to explain how my country just elected Donald Trump as president.
Patreon readers got an extra post this week, a report from my long Tuesday spent as an election officer that had me doing same-day voter registration with the new addition of creating records for each new voter in our pollbook app.
11/4/2024: The Best Cell Phone Plans, Wirecutter
My first update to this guide since the end of 2023 covered minor changes in rate plans at some carriers, AT&T’s breach of customer calling and texting metadata, and such other changes to the industry as the FCC’s broadband-facts labels and the advent of satellite messaging and, eventually broadband roaming.
11/6/2024: In Trump’s Second Term, Net-Neutrality Rules Are Sure to Die Again, PCMag
I wrote about yet another pending reversal of net-neutrality policy because I am serving a life sentence of covering the infinite loop of tech policy. This post also lists some other likely policy priorities of the man Trump will probably nominate to head the Federal Communications Commission, current commissioner Brendan Carr, as gleaned from his contribution to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 as well as in his remarks at telecom events that I’ve covered.
11/9/2024: 97 – November 9, 2024, Rich on Tech Radio Show
My friend Rich DeMuro, who covers technology for KTLA in Los Angeles, had me on his weekly radio show to quiz me about the Wirecutter guide and about what listeners should consider when shopping for wireless service. My top advice on that point: Make sure you understand what speed or usage limits apply to any plan offering “unlimited” data.

After a weekend spent mostly indoors to avoid temperatures that hit or neared triple digits Saturday and Sunday, I’m flying to Los Angeles Tuesday for a grab-bag of reasons that include trying out Waymo’s robotaxi service there (which may make me feel like I’m living in the future), covering VidCon Anaheim (which is all but assured to make me feel old).
Patreon readers got an extra post from me Friday: my thoughts on reading Siddharth Kara’s brutal report on cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives, and then comparing that to Apple and Tesla’s supply-chain transparency reports.
6/18/2024: Google’s Third Beta of Android 15 Is Out, and It Has Some Handy New Security Features, PCMag
The fourth piece I’ve writen about the next version of Android had the least news about new features, because at this point in the development cycle Google is basically done announcing new features.
6/19/2024: Billionaire Frank McCourt Shares His Vision for a Decentralized, User-Owned TikTok, PCMag
I had thought this session could yield a good post, and it did not disappoint–even if McCourt’s answers onstage glossed over large parts of his “Project Liberty” proposal.
6/19/2024: What does AI mean for remote work?, Collision
My first panel at Collision–featuring Bhavin Shah, founder and CEO of Moveworks, and Jenny Fielding, co-founder and managing partner at Everywhere Ventures–was the last one added to my schedule and featured the largest audience, thanks to its spot on the event’s center stage.
6/20/2024: 1Password Adds New Account Recovery and Device Addition Options, PCMag
I need to revise this post with some extra details about the new device-addition user experience that 1Password’s PR folks provided Friday afternoon.
6/20/2024: Robots and humans: Partners in progress, Collision
Clock management can be tricky with three other speakers on stage (Erik Nieves, CEO of Plus One Robotics; Tessa Lau, co-founder of Dusty Robotics; and Etienne Lacroix, founder and CEO of Vention), but I managed to end this thing within 10 seconds of schedule. My fellow speakers helped immensely by sharing some enlightening anecdotes (for instance, Lau noting that Dusty’s construction-site-markup robots often get nicknamed “WALL-E” by human co-workers) and not stepping on each other’s lines.
6/20/2024: Revolutionizing email collaboration, Collision
At 25 minutes, this session was unusually long by Web Summit standards. And Superhuman founder and CEO Rahul Vohra was unusually poised and on-message in his answers to my questions about this paid e-mail service’s new AI features.
6/21/2024: Ep 101 SmartTechCheck Podcast — Qualcomm, Surgeon General warning, Apple WWDC recap, TikTok, Mark Vena
I had just enough time after getting home from Dulles to get lunch and get in a nap before joining this podcast recording.
6/22/2024: Rob Pegoraro Visits Washington Apple Pi, Washington Apple Pi
I had expected this would be an in-person talk like the one I did last June, but instead I spoke to the members of this longtime computer user group via Zoom. That meant I could not give away any tech-event swag but did allow me to share links to the stories I mentioned in Zoom’s chat window.

Between late last Sunday night and very early Saturday morning, I clocked more than 10,000 miles in the air to cover Web Summit Rio, conduct an onstage interview at that conference, and see very little of the city outside my conference bubble. Is that why I’m feeling tired tonight? No, the gardening work I put in yesterday and today had much more to do with that.
4/15/2024: Ep 98 SmartTechCheck Podcast – Apple, NTT Research, Sony, Roku and digital privacy legislation, Mark Vena
My latest bit of podcast banter had me trying to break down the Department of Justice’s antitrust lawsuit against Apple and the odds of Congress making any progress on a comprehensive digital-privacy bill.
4/18/2024: The fight for tech talent, Web Summit Rio
My spot on the conference schedule didn’t come up until the afternoon of the last day, when I quizzed BairesDev CEO Nacho de Marco on the event’s center stage about how that firm aims to meet the software-development demands of clients with a “nearshoring” strategy of connecting them to remote-working developers in Latin America. After a couple of days of other panel moderators telling me that they’d had trouble hearing their onstage counterparts in that arena, I was relieved to see de Marco ably field my questions, replying in NPR-length paragraphs that made my job of panel clock management easy.

This post was a sequel of sorts to one I filed from Web Summit Rio last year, when the then-co-CEO of Eve Air Mobility talked up the Embraer-backed air-taxi startup’s ambitions to provide fast, clean and reasonably affordable flights in eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft around major cities by 2026. This year, the pitch for Eve delivered by Daniel Moczydlower, CEO of Embraer’s Embraer-X innovation hub, came with a little more realism about how the company’s battery-electric planes won’t fly paying passengers anywhere until regulators green-light its plans.

RIO DE JANEIRO
I landed here Monday and I took off Friday, and it’s fair to ask how much I ever arrived in this city during my trip for Web Summit Rio. As in, the amount of time I spent in any public space outdoors could probably be measured in minutes.
Unlike my journey to Rio last year, when I had an entire day free before Web Summit events and the morning through early afternoon open the day after the conference wrapped up, I might as well have parachuted in this year.
And then the difficulty of getting around this city limited any remaining sightseeing to the view through car or van windows or from one event venue or another.
I blame most of that on Rio traffic on the streets and highways that seem the only feasible way to get from the beach-adjacent conference hotel to anywhere else. Which here meant taking absurdly cheap Uber rides every time outside morning and evening shuttle-van commutes between the hotel and the Riocentro convention center.
Some of those vans got an extra boost in form of an escort by police officers on motorcycles who held up traffic at merge lanes–a further isolation of conference speakers from the rest of the city that didn’t seem to save much time in practice.
Rio does have a modest metro subway and light rail system, but they didn’t go near any of this year’s conference locations. As for the enormous bus network that includes miles of BRT-only lanes: Sorry, no. Google Maps never suggested a bus routing remotely time-competitive with hailing an Uber, as if I ever could have enlisted fellow conference attendees in a transit adventure the way I have for Web Summit’s Lisbon and Toronto conferences.
(Rio’s reputation for crime, fair or not, was not absent from these transportation considerations. Also worth stating: Not a single word of this post about conference-subsidized travel should be read as entitling me to any sympathy for this first-world problem.)
But I still appreciated getting to see more of Rio this time even if it had to involve a windshield perspective.
And never more so than Tuesday night, when an invitation to a party being hosted by friends of friends–perhaps friends of friends of friends–led to an Uber ride up increasingly narrow and winding streets up a steep grade through neighborhoods we did not remotely recognize before we realized we’d gotten the wrong address, corrected the error, and made our way to an Airbnb nestled atop the folds of a rocky hilltop that could have figured in a Brazilian version of Entourage.
The view from that rock-star retreat of glittering high-rises in Barra de Tijuca, the harbor beyond and the hills above was utterly magnificent–including a look at the Southern Cross without buildings in the way–and it reminded me to try to see a little more of the city the next time.

I’m flying to Brazil tonight for Web Summit Rio, where I’ll be doing an onstage interview Thursday. Unlike last year’s trip to Rio de Janeiro, this one has much less free time–I’ll basically have only the end of Monday afternoon to myself before spending Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at this conference and then spending Friday on a series of airplanes–but the extra time with my family is worth it. And I know the yard looks better after the attention I was able to give it yesterday.
4/10/2024: Experts: Here’s Why Age-Verification Rules for Social Media Won’t Work, PCMag
I was going to write this at the end of the previous week but got sidetracked by the crazy story of Meta’s content-moderation machinery going rogue in a way that looked very much like the company suppressing hostile press coverage. And then I had my trip to Dallas to see the eclipse distract me further.
4/11/2024: Android 15 Steps Closer to Shipping With App-Focused Beta Release, PCMag
After Google PR provided me with an embargoed copy of its announcement in advance, I wrote a quick post about the beta release of the next version of Android.
4/12/2024: White House to Congress: Stop Stalling and Fund This Critical Broadband Program, PCMag
The White House’s press office noticed the piece I wrote for AARP in February about the impending demise of the Affordable Connectivity Program and asked if I’d like to interview one of their policy staffers. Originally, that person was going to be Tom Perez, director of intergovernmental affairs, but a schedule conflict led me to talking to Jon Donenberg, deputy director of the National Economic Council, Friday afternoon.

After getting back from Brazil early Saturday morning, I’ve napped more than usual but have also spoken at an event in D.C., gotten in some gardening, and enjoyed a shorter-than-usual bike ride.
5/1/2023: Companies adopting AI need to move slowly and not break things, Fast Company
I wrote about how two companies I’ve covered elsewhere recently–the satellite-imagery firm Planet and the customer-support platform Intercom–have been deploying AI-based tools a little more cautiously than others.
5/1/2023: How open innovation can drive your organization forward, Web Summit
I led this somewhat-vaguely-titled roundtable discussion at this offsite conference the day before Web Summit’s programming schedule got into gear.
5/2/2023: Mastodon Makes It Easier for Beginners to Get Started, PCMag
I was going to write a reasonably short post about the federated social network Mastodon’s founder deciding that it was time to add quote-posting and text-search features–both of which had been historically unwelcome there–and then realized that PCMag hadn’t written much lately about Bluesky, another interesting, decentralized Twitter alternative.
5/3/3023: AI Can Give Us a Productivity Boost, But Will Everyone Get a Fair Shot at It?, PCMag
I wrote about the talk that Google’s chief design scientist Cassie Kozyrkov gave to close out the conference’s first day, which I found more enlightening than the conference’s description had suggested.
5/3/2023: Goodbye passwords!, Web Summit
I accepted this opportunity to interview 1Password CEO Jeff Shiner about that password-management service’s hopes for no-password passkey authentication, and then Google announced Wednesday morning that it had added passkeys as a login option worldwide.
5/3/2023: Building an app from the ground up, Web Summit
My second panel Wednesday had me interview Signal president Meredith Whittaker about how that encrypted-messaging app could avoid making the privacy mistakes of other competitors in that market.
5/5/2023: This Florida Startup Says It Can Make Electric Air Taxis Happen, PCMag
My longstanding interest in aviation led me to watch and then write up this Thursday-morning panel in which Eve Air Mobility CEO André Stein talked about Eve’s ambitions in electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
5/6/2023: Will AI Eat Travel? (Clickbait Title for Session on Travel Tech), Frequent Traveler University
In my first appearance at this frequent-flyer gathering since March of 2020 (which feels like 10 years ago), travel blogger Stefan Krasowski quizzed me about the possibilities for conversational AI and many other tech topics. He’s a good onstage interlocutor and I enjoyed the conversation.
5/6/2023: The state of miles and points – what to expect in the next year, Frequent Traveler University
I closed out the day by joining this plus-sized panel featuring other FTU speakers, during which we answered audience questions about things like recent or impending devaluations among frequent-traveler programs.
