Why the Grammys need to change, with CEO Harvey Mason Jr.

I know he does. He has a band he grew up listening to his whole life in his bedroom while he was programming some computer. He loves somebody. Or he's read a book that mattered, or he saw a piece of art that moved him. Everybody has. Well, maybe not everybody, but most people. So all that to say, I believe in human creativity.

Our members are split. There's a lot of members that say AI is the devil. Don't put it in the house. And they... are fearful, rightfully so. And then there's another group of our members that are really excited about the power, the potential of AI. And they're all in. They're creating, using it. They're doing everything they can using AI. And neither side is wrong.

And again, the beauty of music or art or creativity, everybody creates differently. So my role is a difficult one.

It's to be determined, but my focus when I wake up is to make sure our human creativity is healthy, it's allowed to endure, and we can continue to make a living. We have a whole group of people who make their money, their living. They pay their rent and take care of their kids by creating art.

She was programming in Logic.
