| Abstract: | The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has mostly been applied to several processes and areas of music namely; composition, improvisation, performance, education & listening. However, their application is not always accepted by humans. This study focuses on the composition and performance aspect of AI musicians and investigates how human perception on AI musicians may impact one’s evaluation of AI music. This study aims to investigate how the perception of individuals towards artificial intelligence may influence the evaluation of AI performers and AI musicians. By using the grounded theory approach, a literature review was performed and as a result several concepts pertaining to AI musicians were observed. These concepts being; anthropomorphism, capabilities, fear, prejudice, bias and acceptability. A scale measuring human perception of AI musicians and performers (PREAMP) was developed based on the study. Furthermore, a qualitative study was performed generating a total of 122 respondents to investigate the relationship even further. The results suggest the correlation of several constructs namely; AI acceptance & capability, perception of AI musician & evaluation of AI music, and capability & evaluation of AI music. The results suggest a positive correlation between the evaluation of AI music and one’s perception of AI musicians & performers, and that the overall quality of AI music is lower than that of human music. |
