| Abstract: | This research aims to study how music educators perceive the role of AI in a Dutch music academy and what it signifies in terms of their technological perceptions. This is done via a content analysis, with a phenomenological character. Nine interviews have been analyzed via two frameworks: technological streams by Mitcham (1994) and Using Generative AI in Education, by Su & Yang (2023). The research hypothesis was that educators would show resistance against AI because of ethics, and that they see it as a tool, while valuing artistical freedom. Hence, technological skepticism and technophobia was expected. These statements were all confirmed, except for their optimistic look on the future. Remarkably, most educators intend to or already use AI for their lesson preparations. They do limit their use, since they want to remain in control of AI. Furthermore, although resistance is shown in their ethical discussions, counterintuitively, it seems as if they have already accepted the technology and now try to find ways to work with it, instead of resisting it and building a safe system first. Hence, the advice is given to consider more regulation on AI in music education, given the involved risks. |
