UiB AI #11: AI, Ethics, Aesthetics
The shifts in music technology that have driven musical innovation in the last 80 years have largely consolidated historic gender imbalances in the creation and production of music. Today, AI technologies are amplifying imbalances in ways that extend existing marginalisation and shape biases in music listening. Jill Halstead (Grieg Research School in Interdisciplinary Music Studies) will in her presentation "Hearing Bias? The Impact of AI-Driven Technologies on music production and listening" consider these issues in relation to the Gender, Technology, Participation Project, a collaboration between Grieg Academy and Center for Women and Gender Studies at The University of Bergen. The project seeks to develop interdisciplinary research collaboration networks with the music sector, which will raise and address questions of gender bias in music technology design, music production and distribution.
