Exploring human-AI co-creation in music and dance.
For half a century, digital technologies have provided new tools for creativity, but AI is a step-change: it offers the possibility of machines as co-creators. In this event, researchers pushing the boundaries at the intersection of technology and the arts will discuss (and perform) the results of deep collaborations between human and machine in the areas of music and dance.
The event is free and has been organised by the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence.
