Creative Algorithms, Summer Term 2026

Overview

Recently, many algorithms were developed which can generate text, music, or images. By means of deep neural networks it became possible to significantly increase the quality of AI generated media. Despite the case that the results are often indistinguishable from human generated ones, the question remains whether such algorithms can be considered as really "creative". Many questions have to be solved. How can we avoid the situation that the machines will replace us? Can we benefit from AI and work together? What is the legal situation?

In this proseminar, the publications from conferences like "International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Music, Sound, Art and Design" or "Conference on AI Music Creativity" will be presented and critically evaluated.

Following tasks belong to the participation:

The seminar will take place at the Chair for Artificial Intelligence Methodology (Theaterstr. 35-39, room 325), on Wednesdays during the summer term, 14:30-16:00.

The working language is English.

Registration

Registration to the seminar is handled via the SuPra system.
