Human–AI collaboration, creative industries, generative art, music compositionAbstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into creative industries such as music and visual arts represents one of the most profound cultural and technological shifts of the 21st century. Unlike previous digital innovations, AI does not simply automate or replicate existing processes but actively participates in the ideation, composition, and execution of creative works. This manuscript critically investigates human–AI collaboration models in the creative sectors, focusing on both music and art, by combining theoretical, empirical, and case-based analyses. It explores how AI systems function as assistants, muses, co-creators, and autonomous agents, and how such roles reshape long-standing definitions of creativity, authorship, and originality.
