Sony Music CEO Warns Of Potential TikTok Exodus: 'We Should Share In Those Profits'
Sony Music CEO Rob Stringer provided insights into the music industry's evolving landscape, notably discussing TikTok and artificial intelligence (AI).
索尼音樂首席執行官羅布·斯金格對音樂行業不斷變化的格局發表了見解，特別討論了抖音和人工智能（AI）。
In a Financial Times interview, Stringer did not dismiss the possibility of Sony Group Corp.'s (NYSE:SONY) Sony Music pulling its content from TikTok, akin to Universal Music Group NV's (OTC:UMGNF) recent decision to remove music from the platform.
在接受《金融時報》採訪時，斯金格沒有否認索尼集團公司的可能性s（紐約證券交易所代碼：SONY）索尼音樂從抖音撤出其內容，類似於環球音樂集團內華達州（場外交易代碼：UMGNF）最近決定從該平台上刪除音樂。
He also highlighted past decisions like removing Sony's music from ByteDance's Resso in 2022 as precedent for protecting artists' interests.
他還強調了過去的決定，例如在2022年將索尼的音樂從字節跳動的Resso中移除，以此作爲保護藝術家利益的先例。
He critiqued TikTok's claim to being a promotional tool for music, asserting, "it is part of ByteDance's 'profit centre, and therefore we should share in those profits'."
他批評了抖音自稱是音樂宣傳工具的說法，斷言：“它是字節跳動'利潤中心的一部分，因此我們應該分享這些利潤'。”
On the topic of AI in music, Stringer conveyed a vision for innovation and originality, stating: "The best music will be the most original use of AI. It won't be a fake Drake singing a Nirvana song. It will be a 14-year-old kid [making] something that's totally unique."
關於音樂中的人工智能的話題，斯金格表達了對創新和原創性的願景，他說：“最好的音樂將是人工智能的最原始用途。不會是假的德雷克在唱一首 Nirvana 歌曲。這將是一個14歲的孩子 [製作] 完全獨特的東西。”
He underscored the importance of compensating artists in the digital age, especially as corporations leverage AI, warning: "[They] are building something off the back of someone's creativity."
他強調了在數字時代對藝術家進行補償的重要性，尤其是在企業利用人工智能的情況下，他警告說：“[他們] 是在某人的創造力的支持下創作一些東西。”
And added: "If some giant corporation is going to take all their content and put it in the blender, artists have to be paid."
並補充說：“如果某家大公司要拿走所有內容並將其放入攪拌機中，則必須向藝術家付款。”
Stringer's comments highlight a broader industry debate on fair compensation and the creative potential of new technologies, while advocating for a balanced approach that supports artists' rights and innovation.
斯金格的評論凸顯了關於公平薪酬和新技術的創造潛力的更廣泛行業辯論，同時倡導採取平衡的方法來支持藝術家的權利和創新。
