Google's AI Duet lets you play piano with a robot - SiliconANGLE

It has been more than half a year since Google Inc. first revealed a piano-playing artificial intelligence that can take a few notes and turn them into a song. Now the search giant has decided to share the experience with the world with its AI Duet web app. Yotam Mann is the musician and coder behind the new AI, which he created with help from Google's Magenta and Creative Labs teams. In a video, Mann explained the process behind the AI and how it manages to play along with new music on the fly. "Making music using code isn't a new thing at all, but machine learning gives us a different way to go about it," said Mann. "If I was trying to make AI Duet with more traditional programming, I'd have to write out lots of rules."
