Another highlight was the video shoutout by Sophia The Robot, the world&#8217;s most advanced human-like robot (Hanson Robotics). Together with the audience, the jury finally selected the most outstanding song and decided who would take home the coveted DIANA Award. The evening was hosted by DIANA initiator Jovanka v.

Wilsdorf:\u00a0<\/strong><em>&#8220;It was fantastic to see how these great musicians blossomed in interaction with the AI tools at the songwriting camp. AI should always inspire, never dictate our creative output, and I believe DIANA provides a wonderful framework for precisely that &#8220;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>THE SELECTION PROCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To actively promote the creative dialog between musicians and AI tools and launch unique songs beyond genre bubbles, an <strong>expert jury selected the 12 participating musicians for the third DIANA AI Song Contest from over 100 applications<\/strong> in advance. The evaluation criteria were musical skill and a creative signature.
