TL;DR Just because we can generate melodies now with generative AI, that doesn’t mean we should turn these capabilities loose in the world (yet). We need to get the data and AI ethics right. As with planting a tree, the best time was 20 years ago, and the second best time is now.
Our new 8-part article series tackles one of the key questions about the use of generative AI for music: Is it ethical, for musicians (writers and performers) and for music users?
In PARTS 1-3, we identify the PEOPLEaffected by genAI music initiatives, identify key aspects of ETHICS of generative AI for music, and survey the landscape of recent PRODUCT and PLATFORM announcements and events in use of generative AI for producing and customizing musical melodies.
PARTS 4-7 are deep dives which include close looks at where the major players (e.g. OpenAI, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Adobe) and their PRODUCTS and PEOPLE stand today on 4 pillars of AI ethics. PART 8 will summarize and share recommendations.
