For decades machines have been able to understand simple musical features like beats per minute. Now AI is boosting their abilities to the point that they can not only figure out what particular genre of music is playing, but also how to appropriately dance to it. It's obvious that the dancing style in an EDM club is very different from the way people waltz in a hotel ballroom. And even if you're no country music fan, your foot may tap and your head softy sway when you hear the nostalgic "Country Roads" chorus. How our bodies respond to diverse musical stimuli almost seems instinctual -- how to teach that to a machine?
