CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES OF IMPLEMENTING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MUSIC EDUCATION: A CASE STUDY

The introduction of this paper delves into the dynamics of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, which in recent decades has spread across numerous social domains: manufacturing, banking, healthcare, art, sports, and daily life. This paper examines the extent to which AI has positively influenced education as a supportive tool, aiming to promote its applications in music education. The theoretical section reviews various documents to demonstrate that AI has yet to fully integrate into educational systems and institutions; however, modern society increasingly adopts guidelines toward its responsible use. It is assumed that the future classroom will incorporate at least three innovations: biometrics, AR glasses, and various touch-sensitive devices. We also assume that many students use AI during their studies, particularly when distinguishing between music created by AI and music created by traditional artists. The case study on the dynamics and elements of the music education process highlights AI’s long-standing role in preserving musical scores and sound materials. However, it lacks the natural potential for interpretation, which is reflected in its name - artificial. The results of this paper reveal AI's limitations in conducting remote music education, where significant gaps in students’ knowledge acquisition and development of fundamental musical skills were observed. It is certain that innovative learning will evolve alongside arts education, respecting the specificities of individual creativity. In the concluding section, we outline areas in AI where there is still much room for advancement. As before, AI will continue to represent the fifth industrial revolution and machine learning, impacting both education and business, and addressing questions of social self-regulation, ethics, and positive influence.
