From Tools to Creators: A Review on the Development and Application of Artificial Intelligence Music Generation

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a significant driving force in the development of technology and industry. It is also integrated with music as music AI in music generation and analysis. It originated from early algorithmic composition techniques in the mid-20th century. Recent advancements in machine learning and neural networks have enabled innovative music generation and exploration. This article surveys the development history and technical route of music AI, analyzes the current status and limitations of music artificial intelligence across various areas, including music generation and composition, rehabilitation and treatment, as well as education and learning. It reveals that music AI has become a promising creator in the field of music generation. The influence of music AI on the music industry and the challenges it encounters are explored. Additionally, an emotional music generation system driven by multimodal signals is proposed. Although music artificial intelligence technology still needs to be further improved, with the continuous breakthroughs in technology, it will have a more profound impact on all areas of music.
