Concerts with
Humans and
Artificial Intelligence (CHAI)
CHAI is a $100K project funded by U-LINK at University of Miami, and began in June 2024.
Through work with school and college students as well as professional artists, the Concerts with Humans and Artificial Intelligence (CHAI) project addresses the increasing prevalence of AI tools in music creation, focusing on musicians’ perceptions and self-efficacy when collaborating with AI.
Acknowledging the increasing impact of AI on the music industry, the project aims to investigate the acceptability and influence of AI in music-making processes, considering its potential regulation.

The project will conclude with a showcase concert on Saturday April 12th, 2025, 7.30 pm in Clarke Recital Hall at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami.
The show will feature live performances from artists involved in the project, as well as video footage revealing how humans have co-created music with artificial intelligence.
