The Google Brain Team plans to create an artificial intelligence (A.I.) capable of artistic creation. It has called it "Magenta."

The team's goal is to find out if A.Is can create a compelling form of art and music through machine learning. The team said the experiment will be based on "If possible, how, and if impossible, why not?"

The team said it will incorporate "TensorFlow," an open-source software library that Google has released to the public, to create program models and tools. These will be revealed through Github, a site where developers can share codes. The team also will reveal its demonstration program, manual and technical documents on the site.

Google said it will form a community with artists, programmers and machine-learning researchers through Magenta.

The team has already revealed an 80-second piano song composed by Magenta as its first accomplishment. The song was created by building a machine-learning algorithm around four keys. Google said a person played part of the song not played by piano.
