Can a digital twin write a catchier song than a legendary hitmaker?
As artificial intelligence advances, the line between human creativity and machine output blurs. This video explores whether AI can eventually move audiences more deeply than human musicians by testing a legendary songwriter against his own AI clone.
In this TED talk, hitmaker Jason "Poo Bear" Boyd and journalist Elise Hu examine the shifting landscape of the music industry driven by new technology. The discussion probes a fundamental question: will there come a time when machines possess the ability to move people more effectively than human artists?
To test this theory, the session features a live songwriting battle. Accompanied by musician Sasha Sirota, Boyd competes against a digital twin to determine which entity can compose a more infectious melody.
