Will Artificial Intelligence Put Musicians Out of Business?

Thursday November 13 - 12:15pm C208 Multipurpose Room

Join us for a presentation and discussion with Chris White, Associate Professor of Music Theory and Graduate Program Director, Music at UMass–Amherst. In this talk, Chris explores key arguments from his new book The AI Music Problem examining the technical, social, commercial and expressive challenges that make music an unusually difficult domain for AI. The presentation weaves through the broader music AI ecosystem—from startup culture and the limitations of digitizing scores and audio to the intricacies of composition and music’s deep ties to human emotion and experience. While some aspects of music are markedly susceptible to AI, White ultimately argues that music remains uniquely resistant to the full force of this transformative technology. Sponsored by the GCC Honors Scholar Program, the Social Sciences Department and the Music Department. Free lunch! RSVP requested.
