This book sheds light on the profound ethical, legal and creative challenges posed by AI-generated art. It provides an in-depth overview of the risks and opportunities of AI in the music and art industry, from accusations of plagiarism and copyright to the economic impact for artists and creatives. Is a piece of music composed with AI really an original work? Can AI-generated works be used commercially or are there legal pitfalls? Could the music industry be revolutionized or even destroyed by AI creations? The book provides exciting background information, shows practical, possible case studies and looks at possible court rulings and future legal developments. It becomes clear that digitalization has changed the art world forever, and those who are not familiar with the new rules risk being left behind.

Introduction
Why AI-generated music is a controversial topic
The rapid development of artificial intelligence has not only revolutionized the world of technology and science, but has also permanently changed the world of art.
Especially in the field of music production, AI has established itself as a tool that offers both opportunities and challenges.
What once required the creative process of a human being can now be completed by algorithms in a matter of seconds.
This development has led to a fundamental discussion:
Is an AI-generated song really a work of art? And if so, who does it belong to? The machine that created it or the person operating the machine?
A central point of the debate is the question of the authenticity and originality of AI music. Critics argue that AI only recombines existing patterns and data instead of creating something truly new. Proponents, on the other hand, emphasize that humans form the creative core of the process through their input and decisions. These opposing views raise profound legal, ethical and artistic questions that are not easy to answer.
In addition, the legal gray area poses a serious problem. As the training data of many AI systems is not disclosed, it remains unclear whether copyrights could be infringed. At the same time, users of such platforms often have to bear the legal risks themselves, even though they have no control over the underlying data. This uncertainty makes the use of AI-generated music a risky undertaking for many.
Aim and structure of this book
This book aims to shed light on the various facets of AI-generated music production and provide a comprehensive overview of the opportunities, risks and controversial aspects. It is aimed both at musicians who want to use AI as a tool and at anyone interested in understanding the cultural and legal implications of this technology.
The first main section deals with the question of why AI-generated music remains a human work despite machine support. It explains how human input and creative decisions dominate the creative process and why the originality of such works should not be questioned.
The second main section is dedicated to the challenges and risks associated with the use of AI platforms. Legal uncertainties, the risk of copyright infringements and the responsibility of users are analyzed in detail.
The concluding section of the book offers an extended consideration of the ethical dimension of AI music as well as an outlook on future developments. The aim is to provide readers with a sound understanding to enable them to make their own decisions about the use of these technologies.
The appendices provide practical resources, including a sample license agreement and a risk statement to better understand the legal framework. This makes this book not only a source of information, but also a practical guide to the creative use of AI in music production.
Why an AI-generated song is still a human work
If a human uses specialized software or an AI tool for music production, locally or on an online platform for support, the end result generated with the help of AI is still the result of human creation.
Personal contribution despite AI support
Every human AI user who uses an AI as a supporting tool for the musical realization of a work nevertheless contributes to the final result, which means that human creation must also be recognized when using AI support.
User input leads to AI output
The AI's answers are based on the questions or instructions from the AI user. Depending on what you ask the AI or what tasks you give the AI, the result will be different. A person working with AI must have learned the necessary skills to ask the right questions and give the right instructions so that the work with the AI leads to the desired goal. AI users therefore make targeted use of the skills they have learned, their personal intelligence and their experience of working with AI in the past. All the experience they have gained from trying out, testing and evaluating different approaches contributes significantly to the output.
