A comprehensive overview of AI-enabled music classification and its influence in games

Abstract

With the development and advancement of information technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are applied in every sector of life. Among these applications, music is one of them which has gained attention in the last couple of years. The music industry is revolutionized with AIbased innovative and intelligent techniques. It is very convenient for composers to compose music of high quality using these technologies. Artificial intelligence and Music (AIM) is one of the emerging fields used to generate and manage sounds for different media like the Internet, games, etc. Sounds in the games are very effective and can be made more attractive by implementing AI approaches. The quality of sounds in the game directly impacts the productivity and experience of the player. With computer-assisted technologies, the game designers can create sounds for different scenarios or situations like horror and suspense and provide gamer information. The practical and productive audio of a game can guide visually impaired people during other events in the game. For the better creation and composition of music, good quality of knowledge about musicology is essential. Due to AIM, there are a lot of intelligent and interactive tools available for the efficiency and effective learning of music. The learners can be provided with a very reliable and interactive environment based on artificial intelligence. The current study has considered presenting a detailed overview of the literature available in the area of research. The study has demonstrated literature analysis from various perspectives, which will become evidence for researchers to devise novel solutions in the field.

Artificial Intelligence and Music. A Literature Review / Binomul inteligența artificială și muzica. Revizuirea literaturii de specialitate

“…Two of the articles in the last 4 years talk about the importance of involving AI analytics in video game music. Both articles provide a comprehensive literature review on AI-assisted music classification in video games, such that computer analysis aims to classify music according to various criteria set by musicians (Xia, 2023;Yang and Nazir, 2022).…”

Decoding Gen Z: AI's influence on brand trust and purchasing behavior

“…In the gaming industry, where AI is increasingly used to enhance user experience, studies have shown that players' trust in the game's AI system can significantly influence their engagement with the game. This trust is often linked to the perceived fairness and competence of the AI system (Yang and Nazir, 2022 ; Khatri, 2023 ; Xia, 2023 ).…”

Intelligent Music Applications: Innovative Solutions for Musicians and Listeners

“…The use of AI and ML in the music industry has garnered attention in recent years. AI-based methods are used for music classification and analysis, resulting in innovative and intelligent approaches to music production and composition (Yang & Nazir, 2022). These technologies have the potential to revolutionise music creation, curation and consumption.…”
