Gervigreind hefur ruðst inn í líf okkar allra á síðustu tveimur árum. Hún er nú notuð í tónlist á ýmsum sviðum og hefur skapað ýmsa möguleika en einnig vandamál sem þarf að takast á við. Spurningar um sköpun, innblástur og tjáningu koma upp, en einnig hvernig þessi nýja tækni okkar getur hjálpað við hugmyndavinnu og sköpun.
Í Menningu á miðvikudögum mun Þórhallur Magnússon, rannsóknaprófessor við Háskóla Íslands og prófessor í tónlist við University of Sussex fara yfir langa sögu gervigreindar í tónlist, kynna nýjustu uppgötvanir og spila tóndæmi. Framsagan verður gagnvirk og vonast er eftir fjörugum umræðum.
Viðburðurinn fer fram í forsal Salarins. Aðgangur er ókeypis og öll hjartanlega velkomin.
