Do We Want AI to Become the Next Pop Icon?

My TEDxPrincetonU talk examines what happens when artificial performers and generative music systems compete for human attention and cultural influence. I connect the technology to parasocial relationships, corporate control, intellectual property, consumer choice, and the continuing value of human creativity.

The talk introduces the C.O.P.S. Framework as a practical way to think about clear labeling, consumer options, psychologically informed standards, and social signifiers around AI-generated creative work.
