Enabling music education to be more individual and more personalised to people’s preferences and therefore more inclusive.

People from low income backgrounds are not usually early adopters of new technology because of initial high costs. It would be great if the developing role of AI in music could be more democratic and equitable to access regardless of your background.

The recording and listing of where datasets have been drawn from - a bit like showing a list of ingredients in food items - might become part of the regulation around use of datasets.
English
Dataset biases are a problem, and beyond that the datasets and algorithms are created by people working in Silicon Valley who will bring their own biases and perceptions. So that needs looking at too.
