A dynamic "in conversation with" session tackling two of the most pressing topics in music today: Generative AI and Streaming Fraud. Featuring Morgan Hayduk, Co-CEO of Beatdapp, and Patrick Rogers, CEO of Music Canada, this session dives into the technologies, policies, and legal frameworks shaping the future of music in the digital age. Generative AI has revolutionary potential, but with innovation comes complexity. How do we harness AI to protect artists while navigating copyright laws and ethical boundaries? Hayduk and Rogers will explore the latest advancements in AI-driven tools including creation, detection, and attribution, while dissecting the practical and legal challenges of implementation. From generative AI’s role in composition to its potential misuse, they’ll confront the opportunities and pitfalls head-on. Streaming fraud, meanwhile, siphons billions from creators annually. This session will unpack the tech powering fraud prevention, alongside the policies and laws lagging—or leading—the fight. What’s working? What’s not? Expect sharp insights into platform accountability, regulatory gaps, and the global push for transparency in streaming ecosystems. Moderated in a fast-paced, conversational style, "Rules & Tools" bridges the gap between innovation and regulation, offering attendees actionable takeaways for an industry in flux. Whether you make music, work in music, build technology, or shape public policy, this session promises a front-row seat to the forces redefining how music is made, shared, and protected.
