## About the talks

### Strumming with AI: Can Gemini Help You Master the Guitar? (60’)

by Nicolas Ioannou, Senior Android Engineer at Plum

This 60-minute session explores the potential of Gemini AI, a powerful large language model, to analyze guitar playing. We'll use Gemini’s API to upload videos to Google Cloud and see if it can provide feedback on the technique. We'll also investigate the possibility of using Gemini’s API to suggest practice exercises tailored to your needs.

The discussion will explore the ethical considerations of AI-powered music education, exploring whether AI can capture the human touch in music training. Join us for an interactive session on the future of AI and music!
