Adam Neely says Berklee made a serious mistake with its Suno-based "Bots and Beats" songwriting course — and as a creative technology educator and department head who defends AI more than most, I largely agree with him. But in this video I add the nuance his argument is missing: why being "out of touch" can be a feature of good education, why the Suno ethics are messier than simple theft, and why the public isn't quite as hostile to AI music as his corner of the internet suggests.

In this video, I explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping education and creative industries, presenting a strategic framework for educators to adapt to this rapidly evolving landscape. I discuss three key principles—emphasizing critical skills, adopting process-centric pedagogy, and implementing agile institutional structures—designed to prepare students for a future where AI is an integral part of the creative process.
