Meet AIVA, an artificial intelligence that has been trained in the art of music composition by reading more than 30,000 of history's greatest scores. In a mesmerizing talk and demo, Pierre Barreau plays compositions created by AIVA and shares his dream: to create original live soundtracks based on our moods and personalities.

Fantastic,I love AI
Me too! *Says in fake optimism so when they rise up I’m on the right side of history*
This would be awesome, especially if you can find tune the parameters manually too.
Valinax I think the idea is that it would know your location and mood – so office location, stable heart rate, sitting = probably working, so work type music. After that you should indeed be able to tailor it manually: “more classical” or whatever you prefer working to, as it changes during the day. But yes, a mode where you can just go crazy would be awesome.
The soundtrack sounds like Reys Theme from Star Wars….
Yes it does. But ” Rays theme ” sounds like it was written by a Jedi with an influence of the force
Soy Wars
Dack Hacksoy
Wait, so Caleb actually managed to escape?!!!
And he named his AI after AVA
Yeaaahhh
This sounds like Theme Of TED Talks itself.
I was wondering about this a while ago: it should only be a matter of time before we can create endless music, made on the spot by ai to keep on going and going and flow perfectly with what ever would be going on, be it in a game or in the real world or whatever.
Like ” this is the song that never ends…. It goes on and on my friends.. ” lol
to create music from context would probably need some computational effort so it’s not really a realistic (but possible) thing to do. But endless music itself can already be created today.
I think that instead, it might configure emotional input from the listener(s)
Everyone’s soundtrack would include,
“Old MacDonald had a farm. AI, AI, O.”
James Jumper hey ho hey ho, it’s off to work we go… o_O
I cringe and feel disgust towards you and your joke.
Old MacDonald had a sever farm, …
What makes humans different from machines.is Emotion. A machine can never achieve emotion.This will in the future change everything we know about music..and the earth will be left out of Emotion.

“you may be right in certain situations.But take the case of choosing between what’s right and what’s wrong.Our intuition leads to decision that time.”
It’s still a decision that you don’t take any more freely than other decisions.
“What if i feed all the right data to a machine and say to it that it’s wrong.it will possibly end up saying wrong.”
Why would you teach a machine that something is wrong if it’s not wrong? It’s just like teaching a child that something is wrong when it’s not wrong, no wonder that the machine or the child may end up thinking it’s wrong, even though it’s not. And even then, the chances are high that with sufficient experience with the world, they will both come to the conclusion that it’s actually right and that you’re simply not a reliable person when it comes to telling right from wrong ^^. But even if they don’t, the cause of this mistake is your mistake of telling them it’s wrong when it’s actually not.
“How could a machine possibly choose between what’s right or wrong.”
They already do. “right” and “wrong” are dependent on the goal you set. If you set a goal for a machine to win a game of Go, the machine will be able to determine the “right” and “wrong” actions by evaluating which states of the world lead to their victory and which states don’t.
So if you want machines to be moral, you have to implement moral goals in these machines instead (which won’t be easy, nothing about building machines is easy). And yes, there will be problematic machines who do wrong choices, as there are humans who do wrong choices, as I said, the goal is not to build perfect beings, there’s no such thing as a perfect being.
“A creation can never be more greater than its creator.”
Of course it can, greatness is dependent on ability, and machines will be more skillful than we are, machines are already better than us in many fields, and as technology advances, the number of fields in which they’re better will gradually increase, and as we progressively merge their abilities together, they’ll become more and more complete beings until eventually there’s nothing we do that they won’t do better.
I think the only reason you don’t want to believe machines can surpass humans is because you believe in a god, and if machines can surpass humans you’re afraid humans will surpass your god, am I correct?
You treat emotions like they’re this magical, unquantifiable thing. They’ve all been broken down to chemical reactions and can be simulated. Point is moot.
Different AIs who has gone trough the exact same training, but due to randomness thinks different things are funny(wich is basically the same way this works with humans too)
Everything a human can do, an AI can do too and often better
But can it make my content watchable?
Asse
can she rap though
I hope she got great bars about ghettos or life meaning tho
God, I hope not.
The answer is Darude – Sandstorm
The idea of having endless generated music for a video game is interesting. I may prefer allowing custom soundtracks though. Or even better, do both.
I wonder what the part where it kills me in my sleep will sound like.
by definition, it wouldn’t
Yeah, cos, by definition, murder scenes have no soundtrack
Mine would just be the curb your enthusiasm theme on repeat.
Is it only me who felt like skipping video when the orchestra music which was made by AI started?
Metoo, but human curiosity is stronger , thanks “God”
can you explain why did you feel that way? like what was going through your head at that moment? was it fear or disgust? something else?
does it sound like what would Ai learning human behaviour ask? )
I’m genuinely curious though. because I had no reaction other than curiosity and a bit ASMR when the music turned out not that bad
Try with a random soundtrack, you may feel the same
I can’t wait for the “Decolonize A.I.” comments
This makes me kinda sad. Music shouldn’t just be a personalized commodity. Music is a way to express yourself to and connect with others. Not everything is about pure results or achieving things for yourself
Why can’t it be both?
Well that’s your perspective. Music to me is just a tool to achieve a desired emotional reaction, So I’d be chill about this. Would be way more efficient.
+Noah Bailey things in life shouldn’t just be about personal gain or efficiency. There is more to life. Stopping to smell the roses and all that
It’s a art form, sometimes you enjoy it, other times you just want something you like.
I honestly have no idea of what to make out of this.
Scary and fantastic at the same time.
wait till this get an idea of what to make out of you )
