AI dance Is Trending

AI dance refers to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate or collaborate on dance movements and choreography. Here are some key points about AI dance:

AI Dance Generation

AI systems can be trained on large datasets of human dance motion capture data to learn patterns and generate new dance sequences. This allows AI models to create novel choreographies synchronized to music.

• Google's AI Choreographer project introduced AIST++, a large 3D dance motion dataset, and a transformer model (FACT) that can generate realistic 3D dance animations conditioned on music.
• Online tools like HitPaw's AI Dance Generator allow users to upload a photo and animate it with AI-generated dance moves set to music templates.

AI Collaborative Dance

Rather than just generating dance moves, some AI systems are designed to improvise and collaborate with human dancers in real-time.

• The LuminAI project from Georgia Tech allows dancers to engage in improvisational dance with an AI virtual partner that analyzes their movements and responds with its own choreography.
• MIT's "Dancing with AI" curriculum teaches students to create interactive AI systems focused on body movement and dance using tools like PoseBlocks.

Applications

AI dance has applications in entertainment (e.g. music videos, video games), education for choreographers and dancers, and exploring new forms of human-AI creative collaboration. Online AI dance generators also allow anyone to animate still photos with dance for fun.
