SUMMARY:J. S. Bach and Artificial Intelligence
LOCATION:McClintock Choral and Recital Room, Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Center for the Musical Arts
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Music Studies Distinguished Speaker Series \nPresented by Alexander Rehding, Fanny Peabody Professor of Music, Harvard University \nMusic has entered the age of artificial intelligence (AI), and the figure of J. S. Bach is never far away. From Doug Hofstadter's 1979 smash hit book Gödel Escher Bach to a cute 2019 chorale-harmonizing Google doodle, Bach has played a central role in bringing AI to the masses. Why? And what exactly do we mean by "music AI"? In exploring these connections, this presentation will also shine a spotlight on the discrepancies between what we think music AI does, and what its actual strengths and weaknesses are.\n\nPiP URL: https://planitpurple.northwestern.edu/event/631805
