Key findings
Disc jockeys, except radio, play prerecorded music at live venues like clubs, parties, and weddings.
They use techniques such as mixing and cutting to alter recordings and may also serve as emcees.
GenAI is unlikely to impact this work as it cannot perform physical tasks.
Blue-collar workers in this field are shielded from AI disruption, with the potential for increased demand due to a rise in premium services.
How could AI or automation replace or complement job activities?
AI and automation could assist DJs by generating playlists based on event themes and audience preferences.
LLMs like ChatGPT could help interact with audiences and promote events on social media.
However, the human touch in selecting tracks, mixing songs, and engaging with the crowd may not be easily replicated.
For instance, while AI can suggest music based on data, the DJ’s intuition and ability to read the crowd are irreplaceable in creating a vibrant atmosphere at events.
