CRS 2023 To Probe Impact of AI DJs on Live Personalities with Newly Added Roundtable Discussion

(Nashville, Tennessee - March 9, 2023) Country Radio Seminar (CRS) has expanded its already robust agenda for CRS 2023 with a new pop-up session called "Let's Chat: GPT, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of On-Air Talent." The roundtable discussion is scheduled for Tuesday, March 14, at 8 a.m. CT and will delve into the pressing issue of AI DJs and their potential impact on live personalities. The panel will feature an array of industry thought leaders offering valuable insights into the future of radio.


“We hear it all the time: ‘That should be a panel at CRS,’” explains CRS 2023 Agenda Chair Joey Tack. “Right now, there’s no hotter topic than the introduction of A.I. DJs and what they mean for their human counterparts. Here’s an opportunity to discuss this fast-moving technology in an honest, lively, first-of-its-kind discussion at CRS 2023. Bring your questions and thoughts, and we’ll supply the caffeine!”


The subject of artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, and its place in radio is now gaining traction and being debated. Products from companies such as Spotify and Futuri Media already offer artificial intelligence DJs.


This roundtable will address many questions about this technology, including:

  • Will AI DJs replace live personalities?

  • What benefits it offers to stretched-thin programmers?

  • Whether it is just a fad? 

  • Is this the future of our product? 

CRS has a legacy of leading discussions on pressing topics such as this. 

"Let's Chat: GPT, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of On-Air Talent" is intended to be an eye-opening, collaborative discussion featuring plenty of Q&A on these advances and how they might alter our industry, for better or worse.
