You're listening to TED Talks Daily, where we bring you new ideas and conversations to spark your curiosity every day.

I'm your host, Elise Hu.

In this fast-changing age of AI technologies, where do we find and hold on to the human soul?

For me, and for many, music is a uniquely powerful window into that soul.

It's ancient and new, global and intimate, and exists in nearly every place on Earth.

It feels inexplicably human.

And yet AI tools are getting better and better at making music.

Will there come a time when AI can move people in a more soulful way than human-made music can?

And what would that mean?

To find out, I sat down with songwriter and producer Jason Poo-Bear Boyd, whose melodies you've certainly heard from his collaborations with Justin Bieber, Usher, Ed Sheeran, The Rolling Stones, and more.

We explored what makes us human and how we can protect that even while embracing AI tools.

And in true Pooh Bear fashion, he doesn't just tell us his thoughts.

He shows us in a live musical exercise that left us feeling like the human soul is safe after all.

I can't wait for you to hear this.

Enjoy.

That was incredible.

Thank you, thank you.

What a treat.
