Would you listen to AI-generated music?

A recent track went viral that was programmed through artificial intelligence to write a song sounding like a collaboration between Canadian singers Drake and The Weeknd, dubbed Heart on My Sleeve.

This episode of The Leader podcast looks at the boom in robot-made music, including new tracks and mash-ups by famous artists - but would you add these artificial songs to your party playlist?

Analysis with The Prodigy’s veteran front of house engineer Jon Burton, who's a senior lecturer in entertainment engineering at the University of Derby, and Evening Standard music reporter Jonathan Kanengoni.

We discuss whether AI-made tunes can be considered art, what it means for live music and who’ll get the royalties.
