Rachel Lyske: The future of AI in creative industries

Our guest is the co-founder and CEO of Daaci, an AI music
composition platform. Rachel Lyske is a vocal coach at the BRIT
School of Performing Arts, having worked with artists signed to
record labels including Dirty Hit, Atlantic, Infectious and
Square Leg Records and is a music consultant for the music exam
body ABRSM.


Here's what we discussed:





Can you tell us a bit about your journey and how you went
into the music industry? (00:58)

Did you always know you wanted to be a CEO and founder?
(08:05)

Are there any characteristics that you've taken from your
time as a composer in the tech world? (11:22)

Does this type of technology get its information and data
from popular music that already exists? Are you having to be
aware of the potential ethical consequences of a technology like
this – for example, copyright? (14:17)

Have you had much backlash about the Daaci offering (from the
music industry for example)? (18:33)

Do you see AI becoming an integral part of other creative
industries outside of music? For example, in film? (22:15)

There are fears about the likelihood of AI taking jobs once
performed by humans. Where does this kind of technology leave the
job of composition done by humans? (25:20)

In 2022, you secured £4m in seed funding. What was your
process in achieving this funding and do you have any advice for
our listeners on how they can achieve funding? (28:54)

Reports say that only 3% of VC funding goes to female-founded
businesses – have you experienced any challenges as a female
founder? (32:09)

Answer the Internet: How do people get AI to do what they
want? (34:49)

What makes a great business leader? (36:09)
