Generating Mixcode Popular Songs with Artificial Intelligence: Concepts, Plans, and Speculations
This is an incremental proposal for using AI in music to address societal issues, but it lacks implementation details.
The paper proposes a project to integrate artificial intelligence with popular music to create a tool for social transformation, education, healthcare, and emotional well-being, but it is conceptual and speculative without concrete results or numbers.
Music is a potent form of expression that can communicate, accentuate or even create the emotions of an individual or a collective. Both historically and in contemporary experiences, musical expression was and is commonly instrumentalized for social, political and/or economic purposes. Generative artificial intelligence provides a wealth of both opportunities and challenges with regard to music and its role in society. This paper discusses a proposed project integrating artificial intelligence and popular music, with the ultimate goal of creating a powerful tool for implementing music for social transformation, education, healthcare, and emotional well-being. Given that it is being presented at the outset of a collaboration between a computer scientist/data analyst and an ethnomusicologist/social anthropologist. it is mainly conceptual and somewhat speculative in nature.
