Abstract

Advances within AI (Artificial Intelligence), particularly in relation to generative AI has led to greater inclusion of this technology within creative industries, including music. However, there are a variety of concerns pertaining to this innovation and its impact on musicians. Although there are a range of issues regarding this technology, it has the potential to enrich the current provision of adaptable, accessible digital musical instruments (ADMIs). This paper proposes the use of a human-centered AI methodology alongside users and musicians as co-creators to leverage the advantages of this technology, whilst integrating participatory practices to embed a more ethically focused approach to AI as a creative tool.
