Peering into humanity through music

Summary

MBZUAI Visiting Assistant Professor Gus Xia studies music to understand how AI can act more human-like in high-context activities. Xia analyzes and creates music with computers to explore the differences between human and machine perception. He aims to leverage music's abstract nature to study creative intelligence in AI. Why it matters: This research could lead to AI systems that interact more naturally with humans, particularly in creative fields.
