AI in the Music Industry – Part 11: Open AI and the GPT Technology

In 2023, Open AI’s “ChatGPT” caused a sensation. For the first time, AI has arrived at the heart of society and become accessible to the public. GPT technology is not only the basis of the popular chat bot, but is also used in the AI software “Jukebox”, which can compose music on its own without human intervention and can even imitate the voices of well-known artists. In part 11 of the “AI in the Music Industry” series, we take a look behind the scenes of Open AI and GPT technology, starting with the first experiments that Open AI conducted at Ars Electronica in Linz in order to continue composing Gustav Mahler’s 10th Symphony with the help of AI in 2019.
