You’ll explore the ethics of how AI tools are built and used; contextualize AI within a long history of musical instruments, electronic production, and listening spaces; and use sampling as a lens for thinking about creativity, credit, and ownership.
The course pulls these threads into three connected frameworks—instrument and context, sampling, and learning and trust—to give you a durable way to evaluate today's AI music tools and whatever comes next.
Generative Sound: Using AI for Music Creativity is one of the vertical courses in Universal AI, a self-paced program designed to help you go from beginner to AI authority—no coding or technical skills required.
