Can we program machines to produce original music?
In short: For over 170 years, thinkers have debated whether artificial creativity is possible, or if the true spark of genius belongs solely to the human programmer.
Gil Weinberg explores the long-standing conundrum of artificial creativity, a question that has persisted alongside the development of artificial intelligence for more than 170 years. The investigation looks at whether machines can be designed to generate high-quality, original musical compositions and whether the resulting creativity is a product of the machine itself or the person who programmed it.
