An AI can recognize musical genres better than humans

"I think the deep learning system performs better because it's had a dispassionate look at quite a lot of audio material," says Monty Barlow, director of Machine Learning at Cambridge Consultants. Cambridge Consultants says its algorithm could lead to more sophisticated methods of organizing and searching music databases. It could potentially be used to quickly evaluate a patient's health using sensor waveforms (although Cambridge Consultants hasn't exactly said how this will work). In the future, all of our doctors are going to be AI music snobs.
