Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the music world
According to Guetta, music made with music artificial intelligence will become more common. According to the New York Post, artificial intelligence technologies could be the successors to tune-correcting car tunes.

The New York Post could not find out if the artist had permission to use the Eminem impersonation in his performance.
