About this Event

Join us for a panel discussion with leading experts around the field of AI and music

Does the origin story of your work still matter?The rise of AI in music is forcing us to confront the very nature of authenticity. What makes your music ‘yours’ when a machine can generate sounds that are, on the face of it, indistinguishable from a human creator?

Recent developments in the area of Artificial Intelligence and music have brought a new focus on copyrights, process, technique and sonic identity. Alongside the rich possibilities for creative musical practices are new questions for creators and audiences.

Join us for a panel discussion with leading experts, each deeply connected with these themes and whose work aims to explore, understand and create around them. Dadabots, PortraitXO and Professor Franziska Schroeder present their thoughts on the futures opening up at the intersection where AI meets music.

This event is part of the “Embracing the Complexities of Authenticity” project, supported by the Bridging Responsible AI Divides Programme, with funds received from the UKRI Arts and Humanities Research Council. The workshop is hosted by the Edinburgh chapter of the UNESCO Week of Sound.
