Dear Jazz Colleague,
Our partners at the Doris Duke Foundation are conducting a research study to better understand how generative AI is affecting performing artists working in theater, dance, and live music.
To help ensure the voices of jazz artists are well represented, we encourage musicians, presenters, educators, and others working in jazz to participate in this brief online survey. Your perspective will help inform future policy, advocacy, funding, and support for artists across the performing arts, including jazz.
Led by Annie Dorsen in partnership with SMU DataArts, the survey explores how generative AI is influencing artists' income, employment opportunities, creative practice, administrative work, and future planning.
Take the Survey
This research is part of Artists Make Technology, a collaborative initiative anchored by Mozilla Foundation and the Doris Duke Foundation, in partnership with the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, with additional support from the Ford Foundation.
The findings will help inform policy discussions, advocacy efforts, funding priorities, and field-wide strategies to support artists navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to participate. Your input is greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact [email protected].

Who should participate?
This survey is intended for anyone working in the performing arts at any career stage or in any creative role—including performers, composers, bandleaders, directors, choreographers, designers, technicians, and other creative professionals.Why is this research important?
While AI has become a major topic of conversation throughout the arts, there is still very little data on how these technologies are affecting artists' careers, creative work, and livelihoods. This study aims to help fill that gap.Your privacy
The survey is anonymous and does not collect names, email addresses, or other personally identifiable information. Responses are hosted by SMU DataArts and shared only with the research partners: Mozilla Foundation, Doris Duke Foundation, Artists Make Technology CoLab (ATMC), and Annie Dorsen. Individual responses will remain confidential and will never be publicly reported in a way that could identify you.The findings will help inform policy discussions, advocacy efforts, funding priorities, and field-wide strategies to support artists navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI.
