BRotD - Entry 0263 Artificial Intelligence an Beethoven's 10th

Hello and welcome after a lengthy hiatus blogging!


The 'Best Reading of the Day' articles are intended to highlight useful and interesting stories I have found in technology. The domains can be quite disparate and are intended to shed light on how tech is being used.

Today's really caught my eye because of the two subjects it captures: AI and Beethoven. His 9th Symphony (a choral) is probably the best ever and my favorite. 

Turns out he had sketches of a 10th Symphony but did not complete it before his passing. Well, AI has "learned" his style of writing, taking simple movements and expanding them to whole movements, and has completed the symphony. To be released on October 9th, 2021. 

Wow!
