This presentation is partially a result of the author’s lifelong experiences as a professional composer, performer, music educator at all levels and psychologist specializing in music psychology research. According to the World Economic Forum, creativity is one of the top three professional skills of the 21st century. Following the words of Albert Einstein “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination”, we should focus more often on developing and promoting creativity and imagination in music education. Especially during the age of rapidly growing expansion and popularity of AI and technological advances around the world.Although generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) was officially founded as an academic field in 1956, its most recent applications present both great opportunities and challenges in music education. It also raises fundamental questions about the nature of human creativity, imagination and inspiration. AI can serve as an assistant in the creative process, providing technical tools for students and professional musicians to learn, experiment and compose music. Even the newest music notation software like Sibelius, incorporates AI features to assist with specific tasks. AI-powered tools can generate melodies, harmonies and rhythmic patterns, guiding students in finding their individual ways to create or refine already generated content. As we integrate AI into music education and the composition process, it is very important to address many challenges and ethical concerns related to human creativity, copyright and ownership issues. According to Artificial Intelligence statement on Google “Al in music education can significantly enhance creativity by providing students with personalized learning experiences…However, it also introduces ethical questions about authenticity, authorship, and the importance of preserving human creativity”. Organizations like National Association for Music Education emphasizes that our goal is not to have AI create music for students, but to use generative intelligence to empower scholars to create and learn using new ways. Nevertheless, it is concerning that the benefits of utilizing AI often overshadow the importance of emotional depth that gives music its soul and brings unparalleled spiritual experiences to humans.Based on recent experiences as a pedagogue (individual research in creativity), observing rapid decline in creativity among students and in the music composition field, the author of this presentation suggests more discussion focusing on ethical use of AI and establishing clearly defined regulations. It would be beneficial to consider establishing ISME Special Interest Group focusing on the impact of AI on creativity and music composition’s necessary boundaries.
