Seven challenges and shortcomings of Artificial Intelligence and music writing

The act of creating music, from abstract imagination and writing to the creation, realization and dissemination of a work, represents a multitude of human intelligences that pose considerable challenges to artificial intelligence research. In this talk, we will outline some of the challenges and shortcomings of current approaches to artificial intelligence, with a central focus on studying artificial intelligence phenomena that will augment both man and machine at the same time. In this respect, we will be critical of certain projects, particularly from industry, and propose challenges for musical and scientific research observed in existing practice. Some elements of this talk will be detailed during the lecture on June 16, 2017 at the Collège de France.
