The legendary Grammy Award-winning super producer Jimmy Jam has shared his thoughts on a topic that\u2019s being discussed daily in the music industry and in everyday life: artificial intelligence. In an exclusive discussion with The Root, he expresses his concerns and thoughts about the technology that is going nowhere, as its controversial use has sparked much-needed conversation about its inclusion in musical compositions.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to the creative community, I think there\u2019s two elements. I think it\u2019s the permission and the compensation. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s right to take other people\u2019s images and other people\u2019s voices without their permission.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then compares AI to sampling music. The controversy with the practice initially was that people were using music without permission. But, with the proper approach, getting the okay from the artist and\/or the record label,…<\/p>\n
