Re-defining the music market
About 4 years ago, an IT engineer shared the idea of building an AI model that composed 10 songs in a second. However, at that time, audiences had not yet imagined the potential of AI in creating stormy songs on music platforms.
It will not be until 2025 that AI-composed and performed songs will truly prove their strength. Many songs have received millions of views and listens. A series of classic songs by musician Trinh Cong Son were "covered" by AI, earning more listeners than the recordings performed by real people. Going beyond the influence of a supporting tool, AI has been present and participating in many stages in the music market, from composition, recording, singing, covering... AI has also "copy" the voices of the world's leading singers. AI - with its power has redefined the entire music market in 2025.
Explaining the appeal of AI music, musician Dong Thien Duc said: I see the development of AI as the difference between industrial production and handicrafts. AI music will have its own audience, just like the current appearance of "AI artists", there will definitely be an audience of AI because AI is easy to do and easy to make money. In my opinion, audiences like AI music perhaps because... they are surprised. They were surprised that AI could do so in just a few dozen seconds. Causing curiosity and novelty.
Measuring the benefits and disadvantages
For composers, if they own many famous hits, musicians can profit from AI.
When many organizations and individuals use musicians' music works to create audio and music videos released on digital music platforms, musicians will receive royalties from audio/ video.
Currently, most musicians authorize a company/unit to protect the copyright of their works. When audio and video versions are released by AI cover in digital space, on any platform, the copyright protection unit will also collect royalties from the author (using identification tools).
For example, the song "Continuing to write a peaceful Story" by musician Nguyen Van Chung has been widely shared on all platforms from Tiktok, Facebook, YouTube... On any platform, there is an identification tool, whether AI sings "Continuing to write a peaceful Story" or AI produces audio and video versions, that platform will also recognize the works of musician Nguyen Van Chung, automatically having a tool to support collecting taction rights for musicians.
The more the song spreads, the more profitable it is for the musician regardless of the form. However, as AI enters the field of composition, musicians also face a big challenge.
AI composes faster, creativity is almost limitless. Meanwhile, musicians need a lot of time to compose and conceive works.
When individuals and organizations use AI software to compose music themselves for short videos, or forms of production for programs, movies, events... people will limit spending money to order composers.
Not to mention, many audiences expressed that they are increasingly having difficulty determining which song is composed by AI, which song is written by a good musician with heart and talent, or which song is relying on AI, supported by AI.
The singer community is considered a " factor" that has almost no benefits when AI is born. The singer also suffered the most, when many units used AI voice copycation software, borrowing their voices to create "AI singers".
AI singer is increasingly... dangerous, when it is possible to avoid lawsuits by plagiarizing the voices of many singers at the same time, so as not to be accused of copying from any individual.
reality is proving that many channels "AI singers" singing are having outstanding views, many songs performed by AI are being listened to more than the real-life version.
On the side of music production companies, if they own many recordings and recordings (audio/ video) sung by singers (real people), they will face the risk of being illegally exploited and used by AI music producers. When audiences like to listen to AI music, music production companies also have to accept great competition from music production units and individuals using AI software.
