Predicting Hits: Human vs. Machine
Conference
Predicting Hits: Human vs. Machine
Speakers: Dr. Paul J. Zak (Co-Founder, Immersion), Dr. Alexander Genevsky (Professor, Erasmus University), Bibi Kor (Head of A&R, Sony Music)
Moderator: Lorne Padman (Dim Mak Records)
In an age where Artificial Intelligence intersects with every industry more and more, a central question has entered the music realm: can AI's predictive power reshape the music landscape?
Presenting an exploration of this potential shift in our industry, we delve into Neuroforecasting - where neuroscience meets artificial intelligence. Integrating the power of neural responses to music into a machine learning algorithm, new research suggests that hits can be forecasted with a staggering 97% accuracy.
During ADE Pro, two absolute specialists in the realm of neuroscience and market-level analysis are set to guide us into the future: Professor at Claremont Graduate University and veteran tech entrepreneur Dr. Paul J. Zak, alongside Associate Professor of Marketing and Consumer Neuroscience Dr. Alexander Genevsky. They are joined by Kim Hoekema, A&R Manager at Sony Music, to help explore how technologic advancements can enhance the A&R process.
