AI music is music that is created, assisted, or transformed using artificial intelligence. Instead of relying only on human musicians, producers, or composers, AI systems can analyze patterns in existing songs and generate new sounds, melodies, lyrics, or even full compositions.
It can take different forms, for example:
• Composition & Songwriting: AI can generate chord progressions, melodies, or entire tracks in different styles (e.g., classical, pop, rap).
• Lyrics Generation: Some AI tools write lyrics based on themes or emotions.
• Voice & Performance: AI can clone or synthesize voices to “sing” or rap, sometimes mimicking famous artists.
• Production & Mixing: AI assists with mastering, balancing audio levels, and even adding effects.
• Creative Collaboration: Many artists use AI as a tool for inspiration, to overcome writer’s block, or to explore new sounds.
Some people see it as a new instrument that expands what humans can do creatively. Others worry about originality, ownership, and how it affects human musicians.
