Abstract

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our daily lives has raised an always increasing attention for the need of developing AI literacy. In the realm of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), successful initiatives aiming to develop children’s AI literacy can be found in the literature. However, despite STEAM-based methods offer a great potential for music education too, the integration of the (A)rts in STEM education is mostly biased—the arts are used as a tool to support STEM subjects but not the other way around. With this background, the question how AI literacy might be promoted in the music classroom through audiovisual co-creativity and digital storytelling is explored in a music-pedagogy workshop with nine children (7 male, 2 female) aged 10 to 12. This work is a proof of concept that illustrates how generative tools might be used to support child-AI co-creative interactions and by this acquiring not only digital skills and knowledge but musical ones, too; thus, fostering an integrative development of artistic and technical competences.
