Podcast appearances and mentions of ryan kairalla

On episode 2 of The Cyber PR Music Podcast, AI Season  we dive into the world of AI and creativity. The music industry is facing a new challenge that requires attention from lawyers and lawmakers to create new laws that fit the existing landscape and address the rise of AI. However, the potential of AI in the music industry is enormous, allowing artists to create work more easily and more effectively. First, we discuss the legal challenges surrounding AI-generated content after the much covered AI debacle with fake Drake and The Weeknd, causing DSPs to take down the song. Then, we explore how AI, specifically Chat GPT, can help creators with the tedious and less enjoyable parts of content creation, such as writing blog posts or generating musical ideas. Ryan emphasizes how AI can help save time and allow for more human-oriented creativity, but we must ensure human involvement to prevent AI from pushing fans away. We also discuss AI collabs with artists and the importance of being transparent with fans about AI's use in the creative process. Tune in to discover the exciting possibilities of AI in the music industry from the perspective of an entertainment attorney. “ Using AI to collaborate with artists requires legal precautions. Trademark and rights of publicity issues arise when using a celebrity's name or likeness, but general templates of terms of service with legal waivers can protect both parties. Grimes' collaborative model of allowing her voice to be used with clear disclaimers and legal protection can be a possible solution.” - Ryan Kairalla, Music attorney and Break The Business Podcast Host

Welcome to Big Ideas in Education! Each week, the BIIE hosts will bring you their favorite topical stories of inspiration and innovation in your schools. But this show is more than just an education news show; our diverse panel of education professionals are to inform you, to motivate you, and to provide you with actionable tips to make you the best teacher, administrator, student, or education advocate that you can be.This week, the show is broadcasting from the exhibit hall at the Florida Charter School Conference in Orlando. Our hosts discuss the latest insights in improving teacher recruitment, retention, and recognition. They also talk about the innovative model of the Pemayetv Emahakv Charter School in Okeechobee, Florida. Pemayetv Emahakv was the talk of the Conference, both for its incredible program designed to preserve and strengthen the Seminole culture, as well as for the fact that its fourth grade math teacher Joy Prescott was recognized as the 2019 Florida Teacher of the Year. Ms. Prescott is the first charter school teacher in Florida to receive this honor (Congratulations, Ms. Prescott!). Hosts: Sarah Fye (@readwithfye), Mike Hernandez, Ryan Kairalla (@ryankair)
