Responsible AI international community to reduce bias in AI music generation and analysis

This 12 month project will build an international community to address Responsible AI (RAI) challenges of bias in AI music generation and analysis.

Current over-reliance on huge training datasets for deep learning leads to AI models biased towards Western classical and pop music and marginalises other music genres. We will bring together an international and interdisciplinary team of researchers, musicians, and industry experts to make available AI tools, expertise, and datasets which improve access to marginalised music genres. This will directly benefit musicians and audiences engaging with a wider range of musical genres and benefits creative industries by offering new forms of music consumption.
