As in other industries, in the field of music, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to automate services, discover patterns and extract knowledge from a large amount of data.

Scott Cohen is one of the leaders in the music industry who saw the potential in using AI to promote the growth of this industry. According to him, more than 20,000 new music tracks are uploaded to Spotify every day and Artificial Intelligence would serve to make personalized recommendations. AI-generated music playlists are not just based on what you’ve listened to in the past, but what the machine considers to be “good music.”

Now, Artificial Intelligence can not only make personalized recommendations, but can also contribute directly to the creation of new music. Alan Turing, the well-known British programming scientist, was the first to record computer-generated music. Through Machine Learning, an algorithm creates music patterns considered “pleasant” to the human being or that imitate a certain genre.

Today, many are following the Turing legacy. The AIVA software is capable of generating pieces of music according to the feeling that you want to evoke in the listener.

Santiago Velarde, a 29-year-old Peruvian composer, stands out in Amper Music, recognized worldwide for allowing users to create music in a simple way thanks to the use of Artificial Intelligence. This platform allows you to compose music in just a few minutes and in a professional way.

Despite the fact that we saw it far away for a while, today we can already find Artificial Intelligence in the composition of music, live performances and in digital sound processing. This opens up a moral and philosophical debate as to whether a computer can ever replace and improve the work of a human. What do you think?.
