Microsoft Copilot, an AI-powered assistant for daily tasks, can now compose songs through the music app Suno.

Key Details:

  • Microsoft users can enter prompts into Microsoft Copilot, such as “Create a Deep Chill House Mix playlist for my study sessions.”

  • The Suno plugin enables Microsoft Copilot to transform simple sentences into musical masterpieces with lyrics, instrumentals, and vocals.

  • Users can access the Suno integration by visiting Copilot.Microsoft.com and logging into their Microsoft account, then enabling the Suno extension.

  • Microsoft addressed the partnership in a blog post: “We believe this partnership will lead to new horizons for creativity and fun, making music creation accessible to everyone.”

Why It’s Important:

  • Technology giants and emerging startups are investing in GenAI-driven music creation tools. In November, Google DeepMind and YouTube partnered to release Dream Track, a music model for YouTube Shorts.

  • AI algorithms “learn” from existing music to produce similar effects. Artists claim they should be compensated for helping train these algorithms. However, companies argue that fair use policies excuse them from paying artists. These copyright nuances are uncharted legal territory.

🪦This AI Model Predicts Life Expectancy

An AI model trained on personal data from Denmark’s population predicts life expectancy more accurately than existing systems used by insurance companies.

Key Details:

  • Professor Sune Lehmann Jørgensen at the Technical University of Denmark leveraged rich datasets with health, occupation, and finance records of 6 million Danish citizens to determine life expectancy relative to life choices.

  • The AI model called “life2vec” was accurate in 78% of cases and flagged numerous factors increasing the risk of premature death, like income level, mental health diagnoses, and gender.

  • Researchers believe doctors could use “life2vec” to flag health issues sooner for intervention to improve life expectancy.

Why It’s Important:

  • Predicting how populations will age has enormous implications for the planning and provision of services and support.

  • Life expectancy at birth measures the overall health status of a community. Improving this measurement system allows us to compare generations and analyze trends more accurately.
