Athy event explores music innovation with AI
Ai in Music Talk by Dr Martin Clancy and Sarah Keane, Athy Library
A FANTASTIC event was held with leading AI and music innovation researcher and practitioner Dr Martin Clancy and acclaimed singer-songwriter Sarah Keane at Athy Library on Tuesday, 18 March.
The event was an interactive workshop that focused around how AI is reshaping the landscape of music creation. A big topic on the night was around the ethics of AI in the music industry and finding a good approach to using it as a tool.
Attendees even got to see how quickly AI can come up with a fully formed piece of music with just a few key words when an instruction to create a song in the style of Rush was typed in. All in attendance were amazed at the speed AI was able to create the song.
The audience also had the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking panels, hands-on workshops and enjoyed a live musical performance by acclaimed Irish musician Sarah Keane.
A brilliant and informative evening was enjoyed by all who attended.
