FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
YOSHIKI Returns to Dreamforce 2025 — Championing Artists’ Rights and the Future of Creativity with AI
On October 15, Japan’s biggest rock star and global creative visionary YOSHIKI will return to Dreamforce 2025, the world’s largest AI and technology conference, as the only Japanese speaker invited for the second consecutive year.
His session, “Rockstar Revolution: YOSHIKI & the Power of Melodee AI,” will unveil the next evolution of AI YOSHIKI—a lifelike, conversational AI avatar that demonstrates how human artistry and technology can harmonize to transform fan engagement and the future of music itself.
Powered by Salesforce’s trusted AI and rinna’s avatar technology, AI YOSHIKI exemplifies an ethical and consent-based model of AI collaboration—one that protects artists’ rights while allowing fans to connect directly with creators in an authentic, secure way.
A lifelong advocate for protecting artists’ rights and creativity, YOSHIKI continues to push for a world where technology amplifies, rather than replaces, human expression. His new Melodee Platform—built upon the success of YOSHIKI PLUS and integrated with Salesforce Data Cloud and rinna’s conversational AI—aims to empower more artists to build sustainable, direct-to-fan relationships rooted in transparency, consent, and creative freedom.
Moderated by Jessica Sibley, CEO of TIME, the session will explore how YOSHIKI’s boundary-breaking approach—combining artistry, philanthropy, and cutting-edge innovation—resonates with Salesforce’s emphasis on trusted AI, agentic enterprise, and the revolutionary potential of AI built with integrity.
YOSHIKI’s return to Dreamforce follows his acclaimed 2024 appearance, where he joined the U.S. National AI Advisor Paula Goldman to discuss how AI is reshaping art, ethics, and human creativity. This year, he takes the conversation further—reaffirming his role as one of the world’s most passionate advocates of artistic integrity in the age of AI, and revealing how the next evolution of art and technology can empower creators.
Dreamforce annually gathers world leaders shaping global culture and innovation, including Marc Benioff (Salesforce), Sundar Pichai (Google), Andrew Ng (DeepLearning.AI), Maria Shriver, Matthew McConaughey, and will.i.am, among others.
