Dr. Dre, the renowned rapper and Grammy-winning producer known for hits like Tupac's "California Love" and Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady", is an advocate for using artificial intelligence (AI) in music production, according to a New York Times interview. In a discussion with Interscope Records co-founder Jimmy Iovine, Dr. Dre expressed that those who oppose AI-generated music are "afraid of learning new things."
He dismissed the notion of AI as a threat, likening such fears to those held by individuals resistant to the advent of drum machines and synthesizers.
Jimmy Iovine, Dre's collaborator at Beats by Dre, echoed this sentiment, stating that he does not perceive any downside to AI in music creation. He noted that with AI assistance, gifted artists will produce superior records. Iovine also mentioned that many producers, despite using AI, remain "closet AI producers" due to their reluctance to openly admit its use. He specifically cited Timbaland, the four-time Grammy-winning singer-producer known for hits like "Promiscuous" with Nelly Furtado, as one such individual.
