Are you working on a project that combines AI with Music or Audio elements? Interested in exploring the potential for Creative AI in Scotland?
You may be eligible for our newly opened Creative AI Music & Audio Pilot Projects Call. And with surveys opening and workshops happening soon, anyone with an interest in this area has a way to get involved, whether or not they’re eligible for the specific Call.
ABOUT THE CALL
Creative Informatics has just opened applications for the Creative AI Demonstrator Project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS), which will explore the potential for using AI, and specifically Creative AI, in the creative industries in Scotland.
Alongside this work looking at Creative AI more broadly, we are also running a funding call for rapid turnaround Creative AI Music & Audio Pilot Projects.
As interest in and projects using AI have hugely increased in recent years, we are excited about its potential to support much more strategic use of data, to enable work to be made in new and/or more efficient ways, to work with much larger datasets than have been possible before, or to help discovery, search and use. Alongside this, we are particularly looking to develop ethical uses of AI within the creative industries in the face of the real challenges it could pose around creativity, originality, intellectual property, and ethics.
So if you are working with Creative AI in music and sound – whether coming from music production, film-making, gaming, work with voices and speech, work with audio archives, and wider perspectives – we want to hear from you.
CRITERIA IN BRIEF
Our Creative AI Music & Audio Pilot Projects Call, open to all creatives in Scotland, looks to support small scale rapid R&D projects that explore Creative AI in the context of music and audio. Accepting proposals up to £5k, we hope to fund 10 projects through this call which will create new Minimum Viable Products (MVPs). We welcome both initial development of new products and services, as well as new kinds of creative experiences.
HOW TO APPLY
The call opened on 15th May, and closes on Friday 23rd June 2023 at 5pm.
