What happens when computers start writing songs? In this episode of HELLO FUTURE with Kevin Cirilli, Dr. Maya Ackerman — co-founder of WaveAI and author of Creative Machines: AI, Art & Us — joins Kevin to talk about how artificial intelligence is changing music. From the AI-restored Beatles song “Now and Then” to The Velvet Sundown, a viral all-AI band with almost a million listeners, the line between human and machine music is getting blurry. Ackerman explains how her tool, LyricStudio, helps people write hit songs with AI — not to replace artists, but to inspire them. Together, they ask: what happens when the machines we built start to sing with us?

HELLO, FUTURE with Kevin Cirilli is the daily podcast where tomorrow’s biggest questions come alive. Are aliens already visiting us? Could your next job be in space? What if satellites could find lost cities, or stop the next wildfire? What happens if America loses the space race… or if every satellite went dark tomorrow? From Mars to UFOs, from flying cars to “civilization starter kits,” each episode blends science, technology, and imagination with the real choices shaping our world. It’s smart, fast, and curious, built for anyone who’s ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what comes next. This isn’t science fiction. It’s the future, knocking on your door.
