Resumen:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become central to debates about the future of music, particularly with the rise of generative systems and their societal, economic, cultural, and legal implications. Public and policy discourse, however, often follows commercial narratives that narrow music-AI to automated generation and treat music primarily as data or commodified output. This obscures both the broader range of AI applications in music and the long-standing contributions and responsibilities of the music information retrieval (MIR) community. Addressed primarily to this community, the article argues that MIR is well positioned to contribute to current debates on trustworthy music-AI but must also critically examine the limitations of its own research practices and incentives. We briefly situate MIR’s methodological development, applications, and shared infrastructures, emphasizing the culturally and socially situated character of music data. We then examine ethical, legal, and governance challenges in music-AI and propose transparency, accountability, provenance, and sustainability as criteria for assessing current practice and guiding future work. Finally, we identify six interconnected priorities: mission-oriented collaboration; sustainable open infrastructures; rigorous and context-sensitive evaluation; cultural diversity and responsibility; engagement across research, industry, policy, and society; and interdisciplinary education and mutual capacity-building. We conclude by identifying ways in which the MIR community can translate these priorities into practice through its research, infrastructures, evaluation and publication processes, educational activities, and engagement with musical, industry, policy, and civil society communities.
