Reason for Selection: Creativity has long been considered a uniquely human trait, but AI is now generating music, art, literature, and design solutions. AI-driven creativity is expanding artistic possibilities, assisting human creators, and even challenging traditional notions of authorship. Investigating this topic enhances my understanding of AI’s role in creative fields, aligning with previous research on AI in hyper-personalization, cognitive neuroscience, and synthetic ecosystems.



Key Findings:



AI-Generated Music Composition



Machine learning models analyze musical structures and styles to compose original pieces and assist human musicians.



Example: OpenAI’s MuseNet generates music in multiple genres by learning from vast datasets of classical and modern compositions.
