AI and the future of music: an interview with Andrew Weeks

In this episode, I’ll be sharing a conversation I had with Andrew Weeks, a colleague in the music department at the school where I teach. Andy and I chat about a recent cross-departmental project we ran exploring the potential of AI-generated music and its likely impact on the music industry as a whole. It was a warm and thought-provoking conversation and I’m excited to share it with you.
