I am a current Berklee student and very concerned about this issue, not only for my remaining time at this school but for future generations of students and the legacy of Berklee, as well as how AI presence at Berklee may tarnish my standing as an alum.

Berklee should be a place that protects artists, champions human expression, fosters creative development and teaches ethical innovation—not one that accelerates technologies built on appropriation, exploitation, and the replacement of authentic creativity.

i am a boston conservatory at Berklee student. the fact that Berklee is encouraging the use of music AI in this way is abhorrent. as students we are ashamed that our school would waste resources on a class that teaches it. i can't believe this is even a question.

The only reason AI is getting pushed down our throats at Berklee is our president and ben camp being way too connected to the tech industry that would directly profit from a whole school using Ai. Its gross and destroys the values that I came to berklee for

I am a Berklee alumna and am concerned about the future of our industry due to AI generative music platforms. Berklee is the flagship school carrying on the traditions of nurturing human expression, I am hoping they will rethink this curriculum.

Songwriter, cellist, composer here—let's do everything in our power to keep human beings as the sole creators of art. Encouraging the use of generative AI is completely against what any music school with a conscience should be doing right now.

I am a highschooler who's dream has always been going to Berklee and this is horrifying. This is supposed to be ART not PLAGIARISM. Art is personal. This ruins everything

Art is an individual characteristic. The goal isn’t to be the better than everyone- but rather to enjoy and express. Of course it takes time- it’s a skill. The point of life isn’t wasting time but continuous effort and growth. Art isn’t always going to be enjoyed by everyone. That’s why it’s created. For the individual, for self expression. And when others resonate, it’s something that’s felt. that’s what it is- They don’t want us to gather together.
