Real Musicians Evaluate Music Made by Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence has already proven its worth at performing routine tasks. But how good can it be at artistic creativity? A group of researchers at Kingston University and Queen Mary University of London are exploring the concept with AI that composes music. According to Dr. Oded Ben-Tal, lead researcher and senior lecturer in music technology at Kingston University, the results are impressive and can mark a new chapter in music, in which humans and machines collaborate in creating art. There are practical reasons to start with Irish music, Ben-Tal said, including the availability of data.
