AI may become routine infrastructure across music production within a year

Within a year, substantial use of AI throughout music production may seem mundane, with tools embedded in every studio and production workflow rather than fully AI-created albums dominating the charts. Some of that use could come from Suno and some from other tools, while the balance remains uncertain.

The forecast is that AI will assist across the production chain without immediately replacing artist-led creation. A song or album reflects an artistic point of view that is difficult to produce in one shot, and repeated refinement may remain central to work that resonates broadly.
