Artificial intelligence models created by a research team led by Professor Nam Ju-han from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology made their debut at the Jarasum Jazz Festival, one of Korea's premier jazz events. The university announced that the team demonstrated human-AI music collaboration technology, which analyzes the flow of human performances in real-time and enables AI to take over performances or generate improvised accompaniment.
The technology was showcased during the 23rd Jarasum Jazz Festival, held in Gapyeong County, Gyeonggi Province, from October 9 to 11. The festival featured 12 human jazz artists who collaborated with AI in 26 pieces across 12 performances. Unlike existing music AI services, this technology is unique in its ability to enable collaboration with human musicians in jazz, a genre known for its improvisational nature.
Jazz musicians often change the tempo or create new melodies based on their feelings in the moment, making each performance unique. The AI technology must listen to the musicians and adjust its playing accordingly to maintain harmony within the ensemble.
