Charlie Puth Named Chief Music Officer of AI Music Platform Moises

Charlie Puth has been appointed as the Chief Music Officer of Moises, an AI-driven music platform.

Based in Salt Lake City, Moises utilizes AI models trained on licensed songs to provide musicians, composers, and producers with tools like stem separation, isolation, and chord identification. Users can upload music and generate instrumental parts.

In his new role, Puth will provide guidance and feedback on the platform's development and creative direction, leveraging his musical expertise to enhance the product.

Puth stated, “Every musician I know is using Moises, and I’ve been using it in my own creative process for years. It opens up possibilities that used to take hours or expensive studio setups, whether that’s isolating vocals to study technique or experimenting with arrangements in real time. AI, when done right, isn’t here to replace musicians. It’s here to help artists learn, explore, and bring their ideas to life.”

Moises is launching the Moises Jam Session, a global remix competition. Participants can remix or create covers of Puth’s latest single, ‘Beat Yourself Up,’ using provided stems, with a $100,000 cash prize.

'Beat Yourself Up' is a preview of Puth’s upcoming fourth album, ‘Whatever’s Clever!’, scheduled for release on March 27, after a delay to avoid Harry Styles’ ‘Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally’.

In other AI-related developments, Apple Music will now inform users if they are listening to AI-generated music, following a study indicating that most people struggle to differentiate between real and AI-created music.

Concerns have been raised about AI's potential impact on the music industry, with predictions of significant income loss for music professionals. Deezer has demonetized a large percentage of AI-generated tracks, and Bandcamp has banned AI music altogether.

Spotify is also cracking down on AI, removing millions of tracks and targeting impersonators. Reports have surfaced of AI-generated songs being uploaded to deceased musicians' profiles without authorization.
Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney, Kate Bush, and Elton John are among prominent British artists who have urged for the protection of creatives' work in the age of AI.
SZA

SZA recently expressed feeling "at war" with AI, particularly regarding its disproportionate impact on Black music, criticizing the stereotypical content generated by AI in this genre. "It’s happening disproportionately with Black music,” she said. “Why am I hearing AI covers of Olivia Dean, when Olivia Dean just came the fuck out? She can’t even collect the streams. I’m also really offended by the type of Black music that’s coming out of AI. Weird, stereotypical struggle music.”
