As anyone who works in the field of artificial intelligence knows, focus is essential. Whether you're working on coding an algorithm or writing a blog about the latest breakthroughs in AI, it's important to be able to maintain concentration for long periods of time. And one of the best ways to do that is by listening to music that helps you stay focused and motivated. For many people in the AI community, that music is by the German band Kraftwerk. With their minimalist electronic soundscapes, Kraftwerk create an ideal backdrop for concentrated work.
