AI has the potential to benefit creators as long as we have the right guardrails in place. While there are reasons for caution, I believe the industry can come together to embrace this technology in a constructive way.

Amor Towles has written two of the highest-acclaimed novels of the past decade, and here's how he outlines them.
Some highlights:
1) "I don't work chronologically. It's whatever I want to think about that day."
2) "Only when I know everything that's going to happen in the book and I can visualize it all do I then start writing chapter one."
3) "I don't sit there with a blank page without a sense of going and start to investigate as I go."
4) "I'm an outliner. I plan, design, and outline before I start writing. That can sound very analytical; very left-brained; very precise; very organized. But I do that to free up the right side of my brain in the writing process — the subconscious, dream-oriented, poetic side of the brain."
5) "The more I know, the more I can silence the analytical side of my brain and free up the poetic side to take over."
I lightly paraphrased some of the @amortowles quotes above.

It’s time to close the loophole in a century-old law that allows corporate broadcasters to build multi-million-dollar businesses without compensating performers. Tell Congress to pass AMFA!
Sadly, what Berklee College of Music professor of Music Business @gah650 tells NPR is 100% true. But it doesn’t have to be – Join @musicFIRST in urging Congress to pass the American Music Fairness Act!

While it is unfortunate that we must bring this action against SiriusXM, we will always do whatever it takes to ensure creators receive everything they are owed for their work.
SoundExchange filed a lawsuit today in federal court against SiriusXM asserting they had wrongfully withheld more than $150 million in royalties from creators. Read @Reuters’ article and our press release on soundexchange.com for details.
