At the 23rd Jarasum Jazz Festival, taking place in Gapyeong County, Gyeonggi Province from October 9 to 11, a team of researchers from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) led by professor Nam Ju-han unveiled a groundbreaking technology. This technology seamlessly integrates artificial intelligence with human musicians, enabling them to perform improvised jazz together.
The festival featured 12 human jazz artists collaborating with AI in 26 pieces across 12 performances. Unlike traditional music AI services, this innovative system allows for real-time collaboration between human musicians and AI, taking advantage of the genre's inherent improvisational nature. Jazz musicians frequently alter tempo and create new melodies based on their immediate feelings and responses to others' playing.
Given the fluid and ever-changing nature of jazz performances, musicians must attentively listen and adapt their playing accordingly.
