In Tune with Ethics: Responsible Artificial Intelligence and Music Industry

Abstract

The current study initiates a discussion on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the music industry, analyzing nine ethical statements within the framework of OECD AI Principles. The study identifies a growing emphasis on transparency, humancentered values, fairness, and privacy across these guidelines. While transparency is deemed crucial for fostering trust in AI-driven music systems, the preservation of human values and the distinction between human and AI-generated works emerge as key considerations. The article highlights a gap in addressing the environmental impact of generative AI systems within the music industry. The conclusion calls for ongoing research and dialogue to address emerging challenges, emphasizing multi-stakeholder collaboration and informed public discourse to navigate the transformative potential of AI while upholding ethical values in music creation.
