Jaya Mezzaluna Bungari is one of the singers and songwriters from Generation Z. She was born in Jakarta on February 16, 2001.

Mezzaluna has never worked on music with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). But as a generation that grows in the midst of rapid technological developments, of course AI is not a foreign thing for him.

From several musicians VOI talked to about AI and music in the past month, Mezzaluna mentioned a word that other musicians didn't say, "cool".

As a fan of The Beatles, Mezzaluna saw AI make their last work, Now And Then, possible to be released to the public.

"I think it's really cool, from the world of AI can make songs even though there are no people. That's really cool," said Mezzaluna when met in Duren Tiga, South Jakarta recently.

"But it's getting tougher," he continued.

Despite seeing the presence of AI in music, Mezzaluna highlighted the legal problems that are likely to occur.

He mentioned the possibility of a singer's voice being taken without clear permission, moreover there is no definite payment for a singer whose voice is included in a new musical work. Mezza not only talks about music in an art context, but also as an industry.

"But what is scary about AI is that, for example, we want to use people's voices, there is no legality yet. So, even if it is used, the person will not have the right to be paid. So it's scary there. You have to think about it again for legal matters," said Mezzaluna.

"But if the work problem is cool, it's easier," he added.

Furthermore, Mezzaluna is not afraid that the existence of AI will disturb her creativity as a songwriter. She still believes good work comes from the writer himself.

"Working in my opinion is authentic and must come from yourself," he said.
