How will Artificial Intelligence radically revolutionise our way of creating, interpreting and listening to music? As part of the UAB Innovation Week, the UAB's Parc de Recerca and Faculty of Arts & Humanities organise a meeting which will bring together renowned artists and scientists working in the fields of AI, creativity and music to debate on the different social, ethical, creative and technical challenges facing society today, with music as an example of a space in which we coexist with AI technologies. The meeting will also be an opportunity to discover new entrepreneurial models and opportunities within the music and creative industries.

The meeting will also include a series of workshops on musical creativity and artificial intelligence and a round table, and will end with a concert by the UAB Chamber Choir and pianist and creator Carles Marigó.

Those attending will also be able to visit the AudioLab, one of the UAB's Open Labs.
