Human-AI Collaboration Insights from Music Composition

As AI becomes increasingly generative, the role of humans in creative processes is being redefined. We focus on music composition as a case study to explore the nature of human-AI collaboration. We advocate for a qualitative and ethnographic study that delves into the practices and needs of music composers. By understanding the situated nature of music creation, we aim to uncover insights that can inform the design of more effective human-AI collaborative tools that support composers’ creative practices instead of replacing them.
