4.4 Recommendations for further research
The paper sets a path for multiple possible further kinds of research. Firstly, the present paper avoided giving any kind of recommendations or suggesting any
strategical planning to the engaged parties. However, referring to this research as to a starting point, a normative deductive scenario analysis could be carried in the future: picking the desired futures model, the analysis could study and describe the means of reaching this state and present a developer company a concrete set of actions.
Though having presented a multi-perspective overlook of various contexts, the research merely scratches the surface of each dimension. It could be therefore recommended for in-depth researches to be carried within each dimension individually: in the operational one - to better understand the nature of purely technological challenges that may arise as further progress in AI-composers is made;
in the cultural dimension – to gain more awareness of how AI and AI-composers will develop as a part of our culture and of the symbolic meaning they bring along; in the legal dimension – to clarify on specifics and (un)readiness of each individual legal system in regard to creative AI, to foresee or even stimulate changes.
