About the AI Song Contest

Computer scientists, coders, musicians and rappers trained their AI systems to compose the ultimate Eurovision hit. The audience will judge until May 10 whether they succeeded: did the machine make a catchy song? A professional jury with expertise in music and AI will judge: how much AI has been used in the song, and has AI been used in a creative way?
