# When Bots Join the Band: Jordan Rudess and MIT’s Jamming AI
Hold on to your sheet music! Acclaimed keyboardist Jordan Rudess has teamed up with the brainiacs at the MIT Media Lab to create an AI “jam_bot” that can improvise alongside him in a musical mashup that could either be the future of jazz or just another episode of “AI vs Humans: The Musical.” Let’s break down this epic collab.
## Key Points:
– **The Maestro & The Machine**: Jordan Rudess, known for his virtuoso keyboard skills, decided that playing with humans just wasn’t challenging enough, so he brought in a jam-friendly AI for some musical fun.
– **AI Improvisation**: The jam_bot is designed to improvise, which means it faces the same dilemma as musicians everywhere: do you stick to the script or take a creative detour? Spoiler alert: the bot leans towards improvisation!
– **Collab at MIT**: This masterpiece was birthed at the MIT Media Lab, where scientists stand at the intersection of tech and creativity, proving once again that nerds can also produce earworms.
– **Live Performance**: The duo took to the stage for
