As generative AI continues to scale, the likelihood of computer-generated content outpacing human creation increases. Today, we explore how evolutionary generative algorithms in music production can preserve and enhance human creativity rather than overshadow it. Joining us is Justin Kilb, a data scientist and PhD student who serves as an AI technical advisor to Fortune 500 companies.

In this episode of How AI Happens, Justin explains how his project, Wondr Search, injects creativity into AI in a way that doesn’t alienate creators. You’ll learn how this new form of AI uses evolutionary algorithms (EAs) and differential evolution (DE) to generate music without learning from or imitating existing creative work. We also touch on the success of the six songs created by Wondr Search, why AI will never fully replace artists, and so much more. For a fascinating conversation at the intersection of art and AI, be sure to tune in today!
“[Wondr Search] is definitely not an effort to stand up against generative AI that uses traditional ML methods. I use those a lot and there’s going to be a lot of good that comes from those – but I also think there’s going to be a market for more human-centric generative methods.” — Justin Kilb [0:06:12]
“The definition of intelligence continues to change as [humans and artificial systems] progress.” — Justin Kilb [0:24:29]
“As we make progress, people can access [AI] everywhere as long as they have an internet connection. That's exciting because you see a lot of people doing a lot of great things.” — Justin Kilb [0:26:06]

Out of all five human senses, our ability to smell is considered to be the most strongly linked to memory, learning, and emotion, and is arguably the most elusive. Existing AI development has largely been focused on more concrete senses like sight and hearing. But until we’ve incorporated all five senses into an artificial being, it’s unlikely we’ll ever be able to achieve human-level intelligence. That is why today’s guest, Kordel France, has chosen to take on the complex and challenging task of developing machines’ ability to smell.
AI has become the single largest driver of revenue spend for venture capitalists. Today’s guest has sat on the board for many companies and currently serves as a General Partner at Theory Ventures. Tom Tunguz joins us to share his predictions for the future of software along with many other insights from his research into AI, including the importance of being at the forefront of AI developments as a leader, changing metrics to predict future success, and whether or not Generative AI is gearing up to replace Google search.
Jacob is the Vice President of the AI Platform Division at Gong – the AI platform that transforms your revenue growth – and he joins us today to share his joy of giving people the freedom of a data scientist even if they have a limited technological background.
