Possibility of Using Generative AI in Music Appreciation Class

Elementary School Music Subject Based on Fact-Checking AI-generated Content

Abstract

　This study aims to identify the possibility of using generative artificial intelligence （AI） in music appreciation class. Reports indicate that children are overly influenced by the non-facts of generative AI. In this study, the author conducted a music appreciation class in an elementary school based on fact-checking content regarding music presented by Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer （ChatGPT）. Subsequently, the children wrote an introduction to the music they appreciated. The results indicate the following possibilities for using generative AI: clarification of viewpoints when appreciating music, promotion of interest in music to be appreciated, development of media literacy, and positioning AI as a tool for relativization one's own perceptions, values, etc.
