The Taking Over of Online Music by Artificial Intelligence

by Richa Jha Asistent Manager

AI (Artificial Intelligence); the simulation of human intelligence by machines is soon going to take over our world of online music sites, thus changing the way we listen songs.

This presents a question? How different will AI composed latest music songs be from the work of human controlled audio systems? Will it render human intervention useless? Let’s find out:

Brief History

Music and AI have been worked upon for a long time now. Have a look at some important steps in this direction from the past:

· Ural-1:(1960) A computer to make algorithmic music

· EMI: Developed by David Cope to compose classical music

· AIVA: Created in 2016, it is the epitome of our technology right now. Its specialty is the classical and symphonic music creation. It can read the Mp3 songs of human composers like Bach, Mozart and Beethoven

What is AI Exactly?

The father of this technology John McCarthy defines it as, ‘’the science and designing of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent PC programmes’’. The main purposes of this technology include providing information, learning, reasoning, planning, communicating, and moving objects.

Some examples of AI in our day to day life include:

1. Customer Support on Mobile Phones and Online Sites

2. Self-Driving Cars which are being developed

3. Entertainment Recommendation Services that record your tastes and preferences and then make suggestions on the best Indian social networking sites

AI and Music

· In an attempt to creating new ways for people to communicate, Google is now teaching machines to create their own audio tracks, under a project titled, ‘Project Magenta’. By analysing a set of say, Mp3 songs, they can learn to form sounds that are similar. Now although we may be many years away from a point when machines will be able to instantly create a new Bollywood song or a new English song – each sounding similar to the track recorded by a particular artist in the past – but the process seems to have begun.

· Another important impact of this collaboration is that it seeks to ‘democratize creation’. Which means, it wants to offer composition that responds to where you are, what you are doing and how you are feeling. This is exactly what Project Jukedeck also regarded as the Instagram of AI aims to do.

· And, finally this technology is now being applied on online music sites that offer song streaming and allow monetization. It has opened up a new avenue for monetization of podcasts and original Mp3 and could make the system very profitable.

The trend is clear. In the near future one can expect AI to dominate the digital tune process; from production to search, to delivery and monetization. Although some believe that streaming in the industry has caused harm, but advanced technologies will definitely lift up the digital music processing, and monetization. This would bring the profits that the composers enjoyed in the physical era of distribution.
