Music & AI: What Do We Really Want with Ge Wang

How do we (want to) make music with artificial intelligence? What does it mean to do so-and is it even a good idea? How might we artfully design tools and systems that balance machine automation and human interaction? More broadly, how do we want to live with our technologies? Are there-and ought there be-limits to using AI for art? (And what is Art, anyway?) Together, we will pose some of these critical questions in music and AI. As a case study, we will unpack what we learned from teaching “Music and AI,” a critical-making course at Stanford, and ponder the power of human creativity in regarding AI not as an “oracle,” but as a tool for creative expression.

.. and if I remember correctly, at the time of reviewing your first comments made about the Ocarina were to inspire persons who don’t know how to or never had much exposure to music to get the experience of what it is like to create music, and for the purpose of communication not only among friends or in community but around the world and outward. I think your goals have been achieved far beyond the desires you might have thought they ever would exceed. Congratulations, appreciation, and apologies for the interruption.

One more comment about Ocarina. As a person with a life-long asthmatic condition (some have applied other diagnosis to) I’ve had experience with medical apparatus that assists with exercising the lungs by breathing out and causing something to happen within the apparatus such as getting a ball to rise in a graduated cylinder or causing a resistance- controlled spinner to rotate in effect increasing lung capacity among other things. With Ocarina, I have to really take a deep breath, and control the breath before passing it into the air-flow chamber that controls the trueness of the actuated, virtual keys so while it does take some work to get clarity, it’s also rewarding and fun when the flow begins to happen. Ocarina is going to be if it is not already a great asset to the future of Alternative, Rehabilitative Medicine, and as well for improving focus for persons with attention concerns, and creative inspiration in addition to spanning the gap of communication while promoting a relaxing resonance during moments of stress and anxiety.

Hi. What can be provided about AI use in College level (and for all educational and professional level) use? (The reason I ask is there is at least one claim made where a student is charged with plagiarism after using “AI” for grammar, basically as a “flow check” for enhanced comprehension and readability.) After use, the “AI” app. apparently watermarks amendments. The problem is not with the AI app., though apparently with the college professor, and whomever else is involved with making the decision because what is being described isn’t plagiarism. According to claims made, the student applies the proper credit to originator(s), and the paper is spot checked before submitting for grade. How good can an app. be that cannot be used without concern for plagiarism.. so I believe there is (somewhere) a problem that exists between the bridging of traditional education to the connection with untraditional approach to learning in order to make the crossover to computer sciences of the 21st Century, and beyond. Any suggestions for breaking the barriers of approach?
