Abstract :
"Despite its relatively short history, dating back to around 1960 when John McCarthy initiated the field, artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant inroads into nearly all domains, profoundly impacting them. Music is no exception. This research aims to systematically review the literature on AI and its applications in music, with the goal of understanding and introducing the various uses of AI in this art form. To achieve this, five primary research and application areas of AI in music were identified. Subsequently, data from all relevant scientific documents within these five areas was extracted from the Scopus database. For each of the five areas, the countries with the highest number of published articles, the universities with the most publications, and the top authors were identified. Additionally, the temporal trend of scientific document publication in each area was determined. Furthermore, the various AI methods and algorithms employed in each area were identified, along with the corresponding articles. Deep learning has been transforming and improving results in all areas, leading to a quantitative growth in scientific research within the field of music. Moreover, generative AI has experienced remarkable growth in the realm of music production. Finally, the challenges and future research topics of the different areas were examined. One of the most crucial tasks for the future is the creation of suitable datasets for various domains."
