Abstract

The generative AI is changing the way of creating music in the digital intelligence age, which has a limited cycle and an inability to be flexible with its expression and a high price. The AI can help with the important aspects that are text, music, visual design, sound and editing, as it has the ability to assist in the most critical connections like scriptwriting, composition, stage design, production of sound, and promotion. This article will discuss the ways to integrate the use of AI to enhance the creative process, efficiency, creativity, and communication, as well as how to avoid ethical risks and aesthetic homogenization to make the musical art more innovative.
