The Benefits and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence Applications in The Music Industry

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the rapidly growing fields. AI is increasingly embraced in the music industry in different aspects, including composition, education, and creativity. The paper is organized into topics and subtopics to answer questions related to the general application of AI, its benefits in music composition, education, creativity, advantages, and ethical concerns. The paper asked whether AI technology is relevant to the music industry. AI is relevant because it is applied in music generation through composition and education. Musicians enhance their creativity by combining their sounds with machine intelligence. However, this technology is disadvantageous, especially in hindering human creativity. Ethical issues arise on copyright on who owns the AI-generated songs. AI is like any other technology that impacts people differently. It may apply the techniques of big data and machine learning techniques to assist composers and artists in generating songs. However, AI is still growing, and more studies are required. The users need to be more conversant with its functioning and future impacts. More research is necessary to understand how humans will live with technology that threatens to replace their creative abilities. The paper provides current knowledge on the topic and helps understand the relationship between humans, science, engineering, and technology. It reviews and criticizes the work done, including research on AI in the music industry.
