Hamza Namira: I feel great concern about the future of music due to AI Hamza Namira: AI-generated music platforms are gaining millions of listeners

Egyptian artist Hamza Namira expressed his concern over the rapid spread of artificial intelligence technologies in the music industry, warning that this development could bring fundamental changes that affect the essence of artistic creativity and its human authenticity.

In a video posted on his Facebook account, Namira explained that this issue has occupied him for a long time, saying he feels a great deal of anxiety about the future of music—not only within the artistic community but also among audiences who may consume content without realizing its true nature.

He pointed out that music platforms now include fully AI-generated works that use voices imitating real singers and simultaneously achieve millions of streams, which he described as a worrying development, especially since many listeners are unaware that these works are not human-made.

Namira explained that these technologies rely on analyzing vast amounts of previous musical works and then recreating them based on mathematical patterns and predictive algorithms, without genuine emotion or artistic vision—only data processing.

While acknowledging that AI can be a useful tool in some creative aspects, he warned against excessive reliance on it, saying it may lead to laziness at the expense of true human artistic experience.

He noted that some content creators have already started using these tools to produce complete musical works for advertisements or artistic projects, which may create a false sense of achievement while threatening artistic identity in the long term.

In a striking analogy, Namira described AI as a “radioactive element,” appearing attractive on the surface but carrying hidden danger when approached or overused, stressing that its influence may infiltrate creativity without the artist noticing.

He also revealed that he had previously used these technologies as an assistant in some of his work to generate musical ideas, but over time he noticed that this dependence began to affect his creative state and weaken his confidence in his own production.

He emphasized that what distinguishes human creativity is experience and emotion, even if the work is not perfect, whereas AI offers “artificial perfection” that may make the artist question the value of what they produce.

Namira concluded by stressing the need for balance in using these technologies, warning of a future where works may become similar due to a single source of production, and affirming that only humans possess the perspective that gives art its true soul, and that imperfection is what gives art its authenticity and impact.
