Who’s Making AI Music?

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to any computer system designed to simulate some aspect of human intelligence. Think: Google search, smart navigation apps, self-driving cars, or Siri. One surprising area in which AI is beginning to attract attention? Music. In Episode 02 of "To Be Designed", we explore some of the social implications behind AI-generated music. What is considered “music”? Does AI cause us to rethink the concept of creativity? Who is responsible for AI-generated art? Come with us as we try to answer these questions through a discussion about the AI rapper FN Meka and a conversation with generative artist William Fields. *Disclaimer: This episode was produced before the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
