Tech Papers 2022: This paper examines AI in music, exploring the definition of music and its implications for copyright, moral rights, and monetization, with a focus on AI-generated Beethoven’s Tenth Symphony.
Abstract
Music created using artificial intelligence technology (AI) raises urgent questions over how to classify AI-created music. This paper will look at AI from a musicological perspective regarding what is music, and how that relates to copyright, moral rights and the right to monetize such works, with particular focus on the use of AI to create Beethoven’s tenth symphony.
