Public Speaking

Music, Generative AI and Copyright

I regularly contribute to public and professional discussions on artificial intelligence, copyright, creators’ rights, and the future of the music and creative industries. My speaking work spans academic conferences, industry events, policy discussions, and public-facing panels, with a particular focus on the implications of generative AI for musicians, creators, and the wider cultural sector.

I am available for conference papers, panel discussions, keynote speeches, guest lectures, workshops, and industry events on topics including AI and music, copyright and creators’ rights, music policy, creative labour, and the future of the creative industries.
