The traditional ‘Gyana-Samvid’ (Repository of Knowledge) of Indian music can be documented, and preserved in the form of `smart’ digital repositories, `smart’ books and `smart’ systems. The advent of smart technologies and Artificial Intelligence has created many pathways to document, preserve, simulate and even interpret this ‘Gyana-Samvid’ innovatively. Artificial Intelligence provides an excellent opportunity to empirically verify and validate the Indic knowledge using technology & simulation on computers. In this sense Indian Music is the ideal candidate for developing expert and ‘Smart’ Systems for Indian Music that leads to Artificial Musical Intelligence.
In this context Artificially Intelligent Expert Systems for Indian Music called ‘Bharati’, ‘AI Tala’, ‘AIRagaGen’, and ‘AI Raga’ have been designed and developed by the author. These smart systems are based on 28th Chapter of Bharata’s Natyashastra known as ‘Sangeetadhyaya’ mainly, and for detailed referencing and fine-tuning Abhinav Bharati and Sangeet Ratnakar have been referred. Bharati system has helped the author to study Natyashastra from computational point of view and prepared the right context for the development of GTIM. ‘AI Tala’, ‘AIRagaGen’, and ‘AI Raga’ systems are the manifestations of the GTIM. A brief overview of these systems is presented below.
