The Way Hip-Hop Artists Use AI is Going to Blow Your Mind!

Season 1 Episode 2 | 7m 48s

In this episode, we meet independent artist Vritra, former member of Hip-Hop collective Odd Future, as he tests out AI programs for a new song. He collaborates with computer scientist / musician Micah Brown, who developed assistive AI platform BrainRap to listen to artists freestyling, singing or writing and suggest words and phrases in real-time. Dr. Taj Frazier explores AI benefits and pitfalls.
