About

What is the Sound of AI curriculum?

The goal of this curriculum is to engage students with interactive lessons and projects, and to have them think critically about signal processing, AI, and creative human-AI music collaboration. Throughout this course, students will have open-ended discussions on questions such as:

• - How do we compare and contrast human hearing and machine hearing?
• - How do the signal properties of music impact what we hear?
• - How can we interface with artificial intelligence to creative collaborative music projects?
• - What kind of projects can you create with interactive music-generating AI?

These questions will allow students to gain a deeper understanding of music and its properties, and reflect on their own abilities to create music with interactive AI.
