## Resource

Herbie Hancock sees AI in music as an exciting evolution, not a threat—joking he might even duet with an AI someday. While hip-hop is split, with Timbaland embracing AI and T-Pain resisting, the industry is racing to adapt. Major players like the RIAA and Grammys have already introduced labeling standards to distinguish AI-generated tracks. And with projections of the AI music market hitting billions by 2030 and soaring beyond by 2035, this isn’t just about art—it’s about money and the future of music itself.
