Towards sentience: A path through jazz, datasets and digital scores (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Poltronieri, F., & Vear, C. (2024, June). Towards sentience: A path through jazz, datasets and digital scores. Paper presented at International Symposium of Electronic Art 2024, Brisbane, Australia

This short paper is a provocation in which we lean into the notion of sentience in Creative-AI music. The purpose of this is to highlight that a critical component when using bucket terms such as ”creativity”, ”intelligence” or ”sentience” in the des...
