Student Who Grew Her Own Canoe Out of Mushroom Thinks Fungus is Our Best Ally in Climate Change
Katy Ayers has succeeded in growing her own canoe out of mycelium—and the student believes it's a perfect example of how mushrooms can save the world.
Shimon is an AI robot capable of writing its own music, from jazz to rap—and it could signify a fascinating new era for musical collaboration.
Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have designed the first robot capable of not only playing music, but creating music—and its name is Shimon.
The musical robot was trained on a vast data set of everything from progressive rock to jazz to rap. Shimon takes this knowledge of past music and uses algorithms to come up with unique robot music of his own.
Shimon is showing us what can happen when robots don't just work for us, but work with us. Its unique approach to composition makes it possible for listeners to gain exposure to new musical ideas that would have been unthinkable strictly with human input.
