Researchers create a computer that writes own folk music

Researchers have created a'Bot Dylan' computer that is capable of writing its own folk music. The system uses artificial intelligence to compose new tunes after it was trained using 23,000 pieces of Irish folk music. This allowed the machine to learn the patterns and structures that make for a catchy tune before it created its own pieces of music that we showcased at a concert in London this week. It marks a significant step forward for the capabilities of artificial intelligence. The new computerised composer can compose new tunes after being trained using 23,000 pieces of Irish folk music.
