Artificial intelligence is everywhere, in the media and in everyday life. No sector can afford not to explore the possibilities and pitfalls, at the risk of being left hopelessly behind. This also applies to the arts, and to music in particular.
Artificial intelligence is now widely available and offers many new creative possibilities, but it also raises questions. Regarding copyright, livelihoods and quality, for example: how do we ensure that AI does not harm these matters?
In this science bar, we fast-forward through a century Music technology And we think about all the opportunities and challenges that AI in music presents.
