Creative AI: how generative systems will affect the future of music?

Since 2008, the Metacreation Lab for Creative Artificial Intelligence focusses on the design, deployment, and evaluation of generative systems, which partially or completely automate creative tasks. We will define, motivate, and exemplify these new developments of AI and machine learning that will affect the future of the music industry. We will present examples of augmentation and automation using music AI algorithms for computer-assisted composition, computer-assisted sound design, game music, and sound synthesis. We will discuss industrial deployments and applications, as well as the potential ethical implications of these systems.
