Today's lecture in the Distinguished Lecture Series on Music and Digital Humanities taking place at the mdw University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna will be given by David De Roure (University of Oxford)
<br>
<br>
"AI and Creativity in Music" <br>
<br>
Abstract: It may feel like the AI world has just discovered music, but there have been decades of research in music and AI. When we look at humans improvising live with AI we are asking fundamental questions about what it means to be a creative human interacting
in a world infused by AI, and this is a question that transcends music. This talk will present some explorations of this question through projects with the Centre for Practice & Research in Science & Music (PRiSM) at the Royal Northern College of Music, featuring
AI in both composition and performance. <br>
<br>
