Anna Vilenskaya in Zurich. "AI and music: evolution from 2014 to 2025" 21 October 2025

The topic of the lecture: AI and music: evolution from 2014 to 2025

AI has already replaced composers - but how exactly did this happen? Let's trace the path from the first generative models to today's artificial composers. See what mistakes AI made in music and how programmers corrected them. We will understand how machines learn to write music, what algorithms are behind it and why different models "think" differently. And in the finale we will try to guess who wrote the fragment - a human or AI.
