Through a case study on the interaction between artificial intelligence (Ai) and Irish traditional music, we investigate contested issues of artistic agency and the meaning of the "authentic" in a world of Ai-generated music. We consider musical authenticity from three perspectives: 1) the source/cause of art; 2) the art itself; and 3) the recipient. Throughout, we adopt a posthumanist framework that ascribes agency to both human and non-human actors. We interpret authenticity as a relative, malleable concept and argue that the partnership between Ai and folk music enriches each of these perspectives. This paper adds to the intensifying debate around the application, evaluation, ethics, and future of Ai-generated music. |
