Collaboration with AI in Music Creation
Taryn Southern highlights her experience of using AI as a collaborator in music creation, most notably with her album 'I Am AI,' which explores the fusion of human creativity and artificial intelligence. She entered this venture after being inspired by a chance encounter with an AI music company during her time in a Google Artist residency program focused on virtual reality. With little prior knowledge of music composition or instrument playing, AI enabled her to create a song from the ground up, allowing her to reclaim her creative voice with newfound freedom. This groundbreaking work opened her eyes to the potential of AI to cultivate creativity and inspire new forms of artistic expression.
