Betreff: [ak-discourse] Next MTG Computational Musicology Seminar – Ken Déguernel (Fri 20 Feb, 3p.m. CET)
Dear all,
We’re continuing our seminar sessions of the Special Interest Group (SIG) on Computational Musicology and Music Understanding at the MTG.
Our next meeting will take place this Friday, February 20th at 3:00 p.m. CET, with a presentation by Ken Déguernel (CNRS).
Title: The horse is out of the stable – Reflections on the incursion of generative AI in music
Abstract: In this presentation, I will share some of my personal reflections and reactions on the widespread and often polarised discussions surrouding the recent boom of generative AI in music, both in mainstream conversations and within the MIR community. I will first position this incursion within the broader context of Computational Creativity and regarding the musicological position about technology and industry. From there I will discuss these themes through the lense of the emerging AI Music Studies field, in particular by drawing on insights and debates that emerged during a recent workshop on the Ethics of AI in Music that took place in KTH, Stockholm, last November.
