Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 2) — Singer-songwriter Gary Valenciano shared his position on the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in the music industry.
Dubbed as \”Mr. Pure Energy,\” Valenciano said artists have to embrace AI and figure out how they can present their material in an authentic way.
“The most important thing is the human heart. It is something that AI will never go through,” he said in an interview with CNN Philippines’ The Final Word on Wednesday.
\”To experience the loss of someone, to experience the pain and a broken heart, or going through health challenges, that is something that AI will never experience,\” he added.
He said songs of OPM band South Border and singers Moira dela Torre and Martin Nievera will always be part of his music career.
Meanwhile, Valenciano also shared that he contracted pneumonia during his tour in the United States.
\”I only found out about it in the middle of the week before I did my second and third concert in two different states in the US,\” he said.
But he said he now feels great and currently working out again.
\”Oh yes, I’m getting better, friends. I’ve been given the go signal to exercise and I’m feeling a whole lot better than I did last week,\” Gary said in his Instagram post last month.
