Info about event
Time
Register: Registration: kr. 100 / 60 (students). Including fee + full access to concert.
The seminar AI, HUMANS, SOUND concentrates on challenges and potentials in the shared field of Artificial Intelligence, the Human, and Sound. In the current development within automation and high-tech robotics Artificial Intelligence is playing a crucial role. This also involves both industry and research sectors that are occupied with music, listening, and sound. During the seminar a number of researchers and professionals will present their work on subjects and products such as: Improvising musical robots, new understandings of the human in the age of AI, listening algorithms, social robots, and audio hardware design. The speakers will introduce and discuss how human skills and capacities can be regarded in the light of contemporary advancements in the domain of machine learning and AI. What is hype and futuristic ideals and what has already become part of the daily work of professionals within, for instance, music mastering, voice recognition, and human-like robot interaction?
Seminar participants will also have access to the exclusive concert WE/ROBOTS with the robot Shimon and Aarhus Jazz Orchestra. Shimon has been developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology and is considered one of the world’s most advanced musical robots, known for its intuition and creativity.
