Splice Ceo Draws A Line Between AI Assistance And Push Button Song Generation

Splice CEO Kakul Srivastava says the company is trying to develop AI music tools that keep people at the center instead of delivering a complete song at the push of a button.

Srivastava connected music creation with workplace communication: once people cannot tell whether a person is meaningfully behind the work, the resulting conversation changes. Her concern is about preserving human agency, not rejecting every use of artificial intelligence.

Splice has expanded its generative-AI work while operating a sample platform used by producers and acquiring orchestral-sample company Spitfire Audio. Srivastava’s comments describe Splice’s product philosophy, not an industry-wide rule.

For AI music creators, the strategic lesson is to make human direction visible. Document the writing, performance, selection and editing decisions that turn generated material into a purposeful release.
