aceJean-Michel Jarre urges music and film industries to embrace AI
Jean-Michel Jarre has attacked the conservatism of the music and film industries over AI and urged them to embrace the technology instead of being fearful and “very anti-AI”. Jarre, one of the pioneers of electronic music in the 1970s, said while the existing creative industries were “freaking out” over the technology, artists would use AI “to create the cinema of tomorrow, the hip-hop of tomorrow, the techno of tomorrow, the rock’n’roll of tomorrow”. AI’s power to generate images and sounds would not kill talent,
Artists using generative image and sound tools could invent new forms of cinema and popular music such as future hip-hop, techno and rock'n'roll without eliminating human talent.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0082 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
