Time :2.00 pm to 3.00 pm
The seminar on “Generative AI Roles in Music” explored the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on the music industry, focusing on how generative AI is reshaping the creation, production, and consumption of music. The discussion highlighted several key areas where AI is playing a pivotal role. Generative AI systems, like OpenAI’s MuseNet and Google’s Magenta, are now capable of composing music autonomously or in collaboration with human artists. These systems can generate new melodies, harmonies, and rhythms, providing musicians with novel ideas and expanding the creative process.
AI can compose music in various styles, from classical to contemporary genres, mimicking the works of famous composers or creating entirely new sounds. This ability allows for experimentation and the blending of different musical traditions.
Sound Generation: Generative AI is used to create unique sounds and effects, offering producers an expanded palette of sonic possibilities. AI can generate realistic instrumental sounds or entirely synthetic ones, pushing the boundaries of what is sonically possible.
Adaptive Soundtracks: In video games and interactive media, generative AI can create adaptive soundtracks that respond to the actions and emotions of the player, enhancing the immersive experience.
