Robots Writing Songs

Artificial Intelligence is already making strides into music, but just how good is it? Music journalist Will Chalk rounds up some songwriters, and some robots, to find out.

Earlier this year a viral song purporting to feature Drake and The Weeknd was removed from streaming services when it emerged that vocals on the track were not the artists, but were generated by Artificial Intelligence.

It's left some songwriters concerned AI could put them out of business, but how worried should they be?

To find out, music journalist Will Chalk challenges two songwriters to put together a hit song - but instead of writing it themselves, they have to rely on AI at every available opportunity.
