For example, AI involvement with musical traditions foregrounds issues regarding copyright, technocratic appropriation and dilution of musical expression specificities, standardization on genres, perpetuation of embedded musico-cultural biases and cliches, uniformization of the aesthetic experience as a result of indiscriminate usage of music corpora, to name but a few.# Call for Participation/ContributionWe invite submissions in three categories:papers, music works, and workshops/tutorialsFor more information, please visit:https://2022.aimusiccreativity.org/#calls# Important datesSubmission deadline: 25 April 2022Notification of acceptance: 15 June 2022Camera-ready deadline: 15 July 2022Deadline for author registration: 31st July 2022Conference dates: 13-15 September 2022# Organizing committeeConference Chair & Webmaster:Stefano Kalonaris, RIKEN, Japan
