Title of Paper:
AI and Music Creation: Results and Challenges  

Subdisciplinary Area: Music

Keywords: creativity, artificial intelligence, music

Abstract: AI has been proved to be successful in most "well defined problems", i.e. problems for which there exist a well defined cost function. AI can also be used for ill-defined problems and creative tasks such as composing music and writing text, where there is no objective function to optimize. I will describe several AI projects that musicians have used to compose and produce successful music albums (Hello World and American Folk Songs). I will show in particular how AI can be used  creatively, emphasizing the use of Creative AI as a new generation of tools, rather than hit making automata.
