The Algorithmic Orchestra: How AI Conducts Human Emotion

​Music has always shaped human emotion. Long before streaming platforms, people understood that music could influence the way we feel, think, and interpret the world. What is new is the scale, speed and precision with which artificial intelligence is beginning to intervene in that relationship.

​In this Growth Lab LIVE session, hosted by composer and AI educator Rafel Jaume I Venys, we explore how AI-driven systems, from recommendation engines to generative music platforms, are learning to analyse emotional patterns, predict responses and create feedback loops in which feeling becomes data, and data becomes influence.

​As these systems become more sophisticated, music is no longer just something we choose or consume. It is increasingly something shaped around us indvidually, designed to hold attention, steer mood and optimise emotional response.

​Drawing on the myth of Orpheus, this session examines the rise of an algorithmic orchestra: a new technological force capable of conducting human emotion without ever experiencing it. The question is no longer whether AI can compose music, but what it means to live in a world where the systems shaping our inner lives may understand our responses better than we do ourselves.
