	We are assembling the brightest minds in computer & music technology to discuss where the industry is heading in the next 10 years, and the effect it will have on how music is composed, produced, and performed. In recent years, there is a rapid movement toward 'intelligent' applications, where music and audio software replace the need for human expertise in audio engineering, arranging, composition, production, and performance ability. What will be the global impact on the industry if artificial intelligence is capable of creating art?
