Music and Artificial Intelligence with Dr. Eliot Handelman and Andie Sigler

Listen Now to Eliot and Andie

Is it possible that we’ll soon have AIs that can compose brilliant music and teach us what they are doing?  That is the hope and aspiration of Eliot and Andie, researchers at McGill University and points beyond, as they explore the intersection of music and AI, in our dynamic discussion of this topic today. Their ‘Jack and Jill’ AI will also be personal, something available for your future smart phone, and will know your musical interests, proclivities and moods intimately.   Enjoy!

Despite the government shutdown, there is a lot of interesting news this week for us to peruse.  We had a rather spirited conversation this week on cosomologist Steven Hawkings musings loading one’s brain into a computer, a worthy candidate for such a procedure if there ever was one!

And then there is Mars, which apparently once had a lot of water (as in this pic), and now has been shown to have  2% water in it’s rocks, an abundance of the liquid, enough to not just create drink for biological life forms, but enough to create fuel for rockets, turbines, and other essential technologies for colonization.  

Geologist Richard Ely also suggested that there was enough water to create a carbon dioxide atmosphere for the planet, which could warm the place a bit, making it more palatable for ours and other mammalian species.  Sure, you can’t breathe CO2, but its good for plants and other life forms…
