Overview
- Madonna told Vogue Italia on Sunday that relying on artificial intelligence is “the opposite of making art” and that algorithms discourage risk-taking in creative work.
- She argued that the music industry’s focus on follower totals and streaming numbers reshapes how artists seek deals and measure success.
- Madonna said she fuels her imagination by disconnecting from technology and spending time in stillness, in nature, and with her children and horses.
- Her comments came while she is promoting Confessions on a Dancefloor: Part II, which is due July 3, and follows a surprise Times Square performance and a short film debut at Tribeca.
- Reporting notes a visible tension because her team has previously used AI for promotional visuals and Instagram images, highlighting the broader debate over how generative systems affect creative practice and industry incentives.
