[HIGHLIGHTS] KTH researcher wants to give AI feelings: "Trying to build shame into the machine"

At KTH in Stockholm, the AI platform "Folk-rnn" has generated 183,000 brand new folk music songs. The next step is to program ego and a sense of shame and risk into the machine.

"Risk-taking is an important aspect of creativity," says Bob L. T. Sturm, associate professor of computer science at KTH. With machine learning the AI has been trained on 26,000 traditional Irish songs and around 700 Swedish throwaway poles.
