Hello! Thank you so much for your interest in participating in this study of the impacts of AI on performing artists, conducted by
SMU DataArts and Annie Dorsen as part of Artists Make Technology, a collaborative initiative anchored by Mozilla Foundation and the Doris Duke Foundation, in partnership with the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, with additional support from the Ford Foundation.
The survey includes questions about the real-world impacts of generative AI (GenAI) on artists' work, incomes, and creative futures. This study is not focused on student use of GenAI; it is not for AI developers who may be attempting to introduce new products to the performing arts sector; the study is not focused on the recording of performances or Gen AI use by performing arts managers or administrators
Your voice truly matters. What you share will help shape how we understand the ways in which GenAI tools are affecting professional performing artists, potentially driving critical policy and support for artists navigating the challenges of the GenAI era. We are grateful for your time and perspective and look forward to learning from you.
The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete.
