The Ivor Novello Awards are all about celebrating human creativity in the form of songwriting, and for 70 years, they have quietly commended the geniuses behind the music that articulates universal emotions and shape popular culture.

But now, in its 71st year (and now known officially as the Ivors with Amazon Music), the very premise of human creativity is under threat from AI and low streaming payments, as noted by much of the talent on stage at this year’s awards.
