AI and the Future of Music Creation

#artificialintelligence

My father and my brothers are amateur musicians who play various instruments; thus, music runs in my family. I was raised in a household where music listening is a tradition and where kids are encouraged to sing, play, and listen to music early in our days in Brazil. My earliest memories are of music; they are the things that moved me the most and that life taught me to value the most. I put together some rock bands when I was a teenager, and even now, there is never a shortage of musical instruments at my house, both analog and now digital. In addition to my musical education, adult life led me along other routes, including those in computing and artificial intelligence: a really rich experience that allowed me to learn new languages and develop technical skills.


Composing with artificial intelligence: how AI can help you write music

#artificialintelligence

Striking a balance between technical skill and inspired creative flair is often a crucial aim when trying to launch a career as a composer. Too technical, and your work runs the risk of being perceived as soulless. But, if your music is too untethered from convention, loose, and pigeon-hole evading, then you'll have a much harder time finding listeners. This is doubly true when it comes to the world of professional soundtracking. Very often, those working in the soundtracking domain are provided with a brief (or pitch to one).


Enablers and Inhibitors of AI-Powered Voice Assistants: A Dual-Factor Approach by Integrating the Status Quo Bias and Technology Acceptance Model - Information Systems Frontiers

#artificialintelligence

The growth of industry 4.0 has greatly emphasized the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) related infrastructure at different levels of the value chain and business cycles where AI has increasingly contributed to the betterment of human life (Cao et al., 2021; Coombs, 2020; Grover et al., 2020; Sipior, 2020). Minsky (1968, p. v) defines AI as the "the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men". The emergence of voice assistants has enabled organisations to develop systems and processes where human interaction with AI has become the norm (Bawack et al., 2021; Hu et al., 2021). The first voice assistant titled "Shoebox" was introduced by IBM at the Seattle world fair in 1962. Apple has been working on voice assistants since 1990 and has developed a pilot with Macintosh Plain Talk during 1993.

The Little Question I Forgot to Ask Myself to Future-Proof My Work

#artificialintelligence

I've been writing a few articles in the last months where I've tackled the subject of artificial intelligence (AI) and its incorporation into digital business processes and our daily life. As I was carrying out my search, I came across some resources about the usage of AI to produce art, like painting and music. By letting machines learn from the human artistic work, Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artists like AIVA can compose classical and symphonic music. Today, AIVA's YouTube channel has over 18K subscribers. In her post "Top 10 AI Music Composers in 2021," Lisa Brown has listed more examples of non-human music composers.


The Illusion of CreArtificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

In the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) only creativity will open doors to new opportunities and long-term success. When others think that this soon will be under the all-powerful paw of technologies, some believe that creativity will help humans thrive and monetize on their talents, knowledge and unusual approaches to problem-solving. Buckle up, because this is my first article of the Creativity series. And it seems there is quite a journey ahead! Always surrounded by scientists I got used to hearing about miracles being born within the walls of laboratories. Some of them are ground-breaking as they promise a revolution in our daily lives and enable movement for the immobile, whilst others are life-changing and grow transplantable hearts on Petri plates.


How AI Can Drop New Music From Famous Dead Artists

#artificialintelligence

Artists have been experimenting with algorithmic composition in music for years. As AI continues to advance, it's role in music is growing: Artists can already use Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools to randomly generate phrases as inspiration for new songs. They also make for fun YouTube videos when humans perform music with 100% AI-generated lyrics. But the potential for AI in music is much larger. MuseNet doesn't attempt to replicate the full range of audio music.


USPS teams with Google Cloud for call center relief - FedScoop

#artificialintelligence

The U.S. Postal Service plans to reduce wait times on about 80 million customer calls fielded annually through a partnership with Google Cloud announced Thursday. USPS awarded Carahsoft -- Google Cloud's authorized distributor for public sector clients -- a cloud contract with a $50 million ceiling covering customer experience and mail delivery solutions. Increased delivery competition from new carrier services like Amazon has the postal agency reinventing itself, and call center customer experience is "one of the bigger pain points," Mike Daniels, vice president of global public sector at Google Cloud, told FedScoop. "Their call wait times are very unacceptable. They're limited in what they can do with respect to staffing; you can't just throw more people at it," Daniels said.


3 Magical Use Cases for Artificial Intelligence

It's date night and you are at a lovely restaurant sitting across from your date enjoying idle chit-chat. "Ask me anything, anything at all! I have the answer to all questions!" "Okay…well, how long is the longest cave in the world?" "Mammoth Cave National Park is an American national park in central Kentucky, encompassing portions of Mammoth Cave, the longest cave system known in the world. You glaze over as she drones off fact after fact about this cave for quite some time. "…which is nearly twice as long as the second-longest cave system, Mexico's Sac Actun underwater cave."
