Join us for KEF and re:sonate Present: The Big Questions. This month we're asking can AI replace the art of music selection?

​In a world where AI-curated playlists dominate, the role of human curation is under question. From restaurants and retail spaces to live events and radio, the emotional connection and storytelling that humans bring to music selection remains vital. This panel asks whether audiences can truly tell the difference, what impact AI is already having on taste-making, and if the next generation of DJs, presenters, and curators will be displaced or empowered by it. We’ll explore the future of music discovery, and whether technology can ever match the nuance, context and cultural depth that human curation provides.
