Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The conference on creative economy, taking place in Tashkent, is addressing crucial topics for those aiming for the future and striving to be leaders in technological innovations and new creative practices.

Speakers from Yandex Plus are sharing insights into the impact of technology and artificial intelligence on creative processes and educational systems, as well as transformations in the music and film industries.

During his presentation, the head of the Visual Effects Department at Yandex Plus Studio discussed his vision for the future of the music industry in the digital age. He highlighted the increasing influence of streaming services, which open doors for artists in the global music landscape, significantly expanding the boundaries and opportunities for creativity and monetization.

“Today, changes in consumer habits are reshaping traditional models of interaction with music. The shift towards subscription models of streaming services allows listeners unlimited access to their favorite tracks, while artists are seeking new ways to monetize their creativity, including live performances,” noted Dmitry Tokoyakov in his speech.

In the context of education, he emphasized that music education plays a key role in preparing a new generation of professionals ready for the challenges of modern creative industries. Skills acquired through music education foster critical thinking and creativity, which are essential for success in any professional field.

At the conference, Dmitry Tokoyakov also expressed the idea that technology, especially streaming services, makes creativity accessible to everyone:

“Today, anyone, anywhere in the world, can share their unique story if they have the internet and a smartphone. In this context, artificial intelligence serves not just as a tool but as a means to make the creative process accessible to everyone, allowing individuals to express their thoughts and ideas. This concept emphasizes that the true source of creativity is the human being, while technology merely helps realize their creative energy.”

The speaker’s words resonated with the participants of the panel discussion, sparking active debate on the topic.

In concluding his presentation, Dmitry Tokoyakov drew attention to important issues of ethics and copyright in the age of artificial intelligence, highlighting the need for new approaches to copyright regulation to ensure fair compensation for creators in the changing musical landscape.
