Human-Centric Music Tech is a theme in the music industry that advocates for the development and application of technology, particularly artificial intelligence, in a way that prioritizes and enhances human creativity, experience, and ethical considerations. It focuses on designing tools that augment artists' abilities and enrich listeners' engagement, rather than replacing human input or devaluing human-made music. This approach emphasizes collaboration between humans and technology, ensuring that innovation serves the artistic and cultural aspects of music production and consumption¹.
