MUSIC FRONTIERS - Automating Empathy: Can Machines replace Artistic Performers?

Will Robots Replace Musicians on stage? 🤖🎶AI, Robotics & the Future of Live Music . A MUSIC FRONTIERS Keynote by Moritz Simon Geist In this thought-provoking keynote from MUSIC FRONTIERS , pioneering media artist and researcher *‪@MoritzSimonGeist‬explores the future of AI-driven music performance , robot musicians , and the emotional limits of machines in live art. Blending robotics, sound art, algorithmic creativity, and performance theory , this session dives deep into one of the most fascinating questions in music tech today: 👉 What happens when performers on stage are no longer human? 🎼 What this keynote covers: How robots physically produce music (not samples, not synths but real mechanical sound) The difference between technical skill vs. artistic agency in AI and robotic performers Why live performance is more than perfect execution How ‪@SophiatheRobot‬ thinks about collaborating with a human artist. The role of emotion, embodiment, and presence in music The Uncanny Valley and why almost-human machines make us uncomfortable Examples of robotic instruments, humanoid robots, avatars, and AI performers Can AI systems improvise and react in real time like human musicians? Will robotic bands ever tour the world like human artists? Through real-world projects from robotic drum machines and industrial robot arms to humanoid AI collaborations this talk examines where AI music performance already works , where it fails, and what still needs to happen before robots can truly share the stage with humans. 🎤 Why this matters: AI is already shaping music creation, composition, and production but live performance is the final frontier. This keynote offers a rare, grounded perspective from someone building these systems in the real world, not just theorizing about them. Whether you’re a: Musician or performer Music technologist or AI researcher Artist working with generative systems Festival programmer or cultural policymaker Or simply curious about the future of creativity ... this session will challenge how you think about AI, music, and what “live” really means . 👇 Watch the full keynote, then join the discussion in the comments: Would you pay for a concert performed entirely by robots?
