UNFINISHED: The Role of the Artist in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

All at once, it seems as if AI and Music are intertwined: It’s being used for everything from restoring old recordings, to generating entire songs from prompts. For musicians, is AI a tool or a rival? Emmy Award-winning composer and producer, Lucas Cantor Santiago was commissioned by one of the largest technology companies in the world, to collaborate with artificial intelligence in an experiment to finish Franz Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony. The project led him to question his long-standing assumptions about music, technology, and how both evolved together through history. Lucas Cantor Santiago’s book is UNFINISHED: The Role of the Artist in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
