  <body><![CDATA[<p>The robot medus<em>ai</em>&nbsp;knows where you are. It must—because it plays music with you.</p>

<p>Made from beautifully fabricated steel and eight mobile arms, medus<em>ai</em>&nbsp;can play percussion and strings with human musicians, dance with human dancers, and move in time to multiple human observers.</p>

<p>It uses AI-driven computer vision to know what human observers are doing and responds accordingly through snake gestures, music, and light.&nbsp;<a href="https://music.gatech.edu/gil-weinberg">Gil Weinberg</a>, the director of Georgia Tech’s&nbsp;<a href="https://cmt.gatech.edu/">Center for Music Technology</a>, knows it’s unsettling. Wienberg is also a faculty member of the Institute for People and Technology.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
