Intern Kalise Williams Introduces the Music Generator Suno

In this episode of AI for the Humanities, intern Kalise Williams—a senior Sports Health major and Disability Studies minor at the University of Delaware—explores Suno AI, a generative music tool that creates original songs from text prompts. Kalise offers a structured, accessible walkthrough of Suno’s features, from the basics of prompt-based song creation to advanced settings in the latest 4.0 release. But this is more than a tech demo. Kalise connects Suno’s capabilities to essential themes in the Humanities: the role of music in cultural history, the poetic structure of lyrics, and the importance of cross-cultural awareness in AI-generated content. Whether you're teaching music, literature, or cultural studies—or just interested in the future of generative audio—this episode will give you fresh ideas and critical insights.
