Serge Lacasse

Artificial intelligence is already reshaping musical creation, from composition to distribution, sparking both excitement and deep questions. This conference offers an overview of the ethical, economic, and aesthetic issues raised by AI in music and explores ways to approach it realistically and fairly within an ever-evolving artistic landscape.

Serge Lacasse is a full professor of musicology at Université Laval’s Faculty of Music and director of the Laboratoire audionumérique de recherche et création (LARC). His research, at the crossroads of musicology and research-creation, focuses on recorded popular music and the integration of technologies, including artificial intelligence, into artistic practices. Author and co-editor of several reference works, he also leads innovative creative projects that bridge the gap between theory and musical practice.
