In this episode of Dear Art Producer, host Heather Elder welcomes Kelly Montez (apostrophe) and Jen Jenkins (Giant Artists) to discuss AI's rapidly accelerating impact on artist representation and production, drawing on their work on the Artist Management Association's AI committee. The episode covers why slowing down to be intentional matters, the difference between walled gardens and open systems, and challenges around access, traceability, and work migrating from internal to external use. They also outline AI usage tiers and related fees (including upload fees), highlight the importance of restricting data learning, and discuss indemnification, likeness risks, and negotiating confidently without seeming difficult through checklists, collaboration, and bringing business affairs into discussions.
