FYI Newsletter Shifts To A Weekly Schedule

By David Farrell

Effective today, FYI’s newsletter will be published on Thursdays only as the news team winnows down on the wide spectrum of available news and fashions it into a cogent, digestible format for our over 6,000 weekly newsletter subscribers in Canada and abroad.

The reason for reducing the schedule is to provide more thoughtful detail on stories of the day.

Bulletin breaking news stories will be published as needed, when they break, on the website and broadcast alerts will be fanned out using social media platforms that include Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

As ever, Team FYI is eternally grateful for the financial underpinning provided by Gary Slaight that has carried this Canadian music industry news report since 2012.

University of Alberta Study Finds 87% of Canadian Musicians View Generative AI ‘Negatively’

The Western Canadian university surveyed 263 Canadian musicians about their thoughts on AI’s rampant rise and the use of streaming services as an artistic tool.

A new study from the University of Alberta surveyed 263 “working Canadian musicians,” asking them about their experiences working in the evolving music industry. As respondents discussed an increase in the industry’s tech advancements, namely generative AI, many were not optimistic.

Of the 142 participants who highlighted the rapid use of AI, 87% viewed it “negatively.” Many shared they are actively avoiding the tool in their music, with some explaining that it’s devaluing human-made work. As AI continues to affect the music industry, participants say that it’s becoming a challenge to bring in new listeners and earn a livable wage.
