Finally, we have reached this point: there are now competitions that assess art made with artificial intelligence. Music enthusiasts have a unique opportunity to showcase their talent in an AI songwriting competition (yes, you've read that right), organised by Soundful and SoundCloud in collaboration with renowned DJ Kaskade. The contest invites participants to create original tracks using Soundful's AI-powered music generation platform, with the chance to perform live with Kaskade and release a track on his label, Arkade.
Soundful allows users to produce music based on an artist’s signature style, or "Sonic DNA." For this contest, participants can use Kaskade’s Collab style as a foundation but are encouraged to add their own personal touch to the tracks.
