Now, Zhang and Montigne are ready to proceed with their research and just need funding to do so.<\/p>\n<p>For this project, Zhang and Montigne would need to recruit about 35 to 40 students from public middle and high schools. To take part, the students would agree to practice singing on an app with an AI coach two to three times a week for 10 to 12 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Every week, the students would also write reflections and\/or share their thoughts in small groups.<\/p>\n<p>Zhang said\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0excited about being able to interact with students.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019ll be fun\u00a0to go into the public schools and be face to face to talk to them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, learning more about\u00a0AI in music\u00a0could help improve K-12 and higher\u00a0education, Zhang said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I think AI can improve equity\u00a0by letting\u00a0more students access high quality\u00a0instruction,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019d like to explore this topic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a background as a vocalist, Zhang understands how time-consuming\u00a0voice lessons can be.\u00a0Moreover, getting a vocal coach can be expensive,\u00a0she said.<\/p>\n<p>An\u00a0AI app could\u00a0both\u00a0minimize the time\u00a0commitment and\u00a0ease\u00a0the\u00a0financial strain.<\/p>\n<p>Since starting the project, \u201cI designed the whole research method,\u201d\u00a0Zhang\u00a0said. \u201cAnd, actually, I\u2019m enjoying this part,\u201d\u00a0in addition to\u00a0looking forward to visiting\u00a0the schools.<\/p>\n<p>In Zhang\u2019s view, AI \u201ccan let more students access a high quality education,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s true whether it relates to music or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47157\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47157\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47157\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/2604223-aiandarts-01-web.jpeg\" alt=\"Ryan Johnson stands by glass enclosure showcasing his artwork\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/2604223-aiandarts-01-web.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/2604223-aiandarts-01-web-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/2604223-aiandarts-01-web-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47157\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ryan Johnson, a Master of Visual Arts student, stands by some of the artworks he has created as part of his research. Photo by Madison Dame\/UND Today.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>AI as an artist\u2019s tool<\/h2>\n<p>Music is not the only art form that can be affected by AI. Working with various mixed media, UND Master of Visual Arts student Ryan Johnson creates art via 3-D printing, virtual reality, jewelry making and more, and is beginning research on AI\u2019s impact on those methods and activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was reading about this one artist. She took all her drawings and how she draws, and trained a drawing machine to draw like her,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen she\u2019s drawing, she has the machine drawing with her. So, it\u2019s trying for co-authorship of an art piece.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson said he applied something similar to his work by converting one of his drawings to Geometric code, which is the programming language used to operate 3D printers.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of\u00a03D printing, you\u2019ll find it in abundance in\u00a0the \u201cFab Lab,\u201d as Johnson calls his studio.\u00a0The\u00a0Fab or\u00a0Fabrication Lab\u00a0also\u00a0holds various types of machinery, including a 3D printer, a laser cutter, Meta VR goggles and more.\u00a0Dozens of figures that\u00a0Johnson\u00a0had 3D printed line\u00a0a countertop\u00a0by\u00a0the 3D printer.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to 3D printing, Johnson also uses a Meta Quest Virtual Reality headset to help with things\u00a0such as\u00a0virtual art shows, The process calls for\u00a0scanning a\u00a0gallery display, and by doing so,\u00a0allowing people to view the art show long after\u00a0the \u201creal world\u201d version has been taken down.<\/p>\n<p>By the way,\u00a0when\u00a0information and data\u00a0are\u00a0uploaded to those sites, the person\u00a0doing the\u00a0uploading no longer owns that data, Johnson noted.\u00a0So, when\u00a0using\u00a0AI, make sure you know who owns and has access to that data, Johnson says\u00a0\u2013\u00a0because you never know what someone else may do with it.<\/p>\n<p>As Zhang and Johnson\u2019s examples make clear, AI is becoming a part of almost all academic endeavors, now very much including music and art. So how about communication, including such tasks as the writing of this\u00a0story for\u00a0UND Today?<\/p>\n<p>Only the writer and Sam Altman know for sure.<\/p>\n<h2>About the author:<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39172\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39172\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39172\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/11\/Madison-Dame-headshot.jpg\" alt=\"Madison Dame\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39172\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Madison Dame<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Madison Dame is a graduate student in Communication at UND.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UND grad students explore how artificial intelligence can contribute to \u2014 and maybe even improve \u2014 the creative arts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":47156,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[16,1125,20],"class_list":["post-47119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-around-und","tag-arts-sciences","tag-learning","tag-graduate"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>AI in music, AI in art - UND Today<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"UND grad students explore how artificial intelligence can contribute to \u2014 and maybe even improve \u2014 the creative arts\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/2026\/05\/ai-in-music-ai-in-art\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"AI in music, AI in art - UND Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"UND grad students explore how artificial intelligence can contribute to \u2014 and maybe even improve \u2014 the creative arts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/2026\/05\/ai-in-music-ai-in-art\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"UND Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-05-07T20:26:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-05-08T03:11:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/2604223-aiandarts-02-web.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"683\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Tom Dennis\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Tom Dennis\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/ai-in-music-ai-in-art\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/ai-in-music-ai-in-art\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Tom Dennis\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/85171165d7a7ad88663c40d70bf3316e\"},\"headline\":\"AI in music, AI in art\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-05-07T20:26:52+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-05-08T03:11:44+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/ai-in-music-ai-in-art\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":899,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/ai-in-music-ai-in-art\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/7\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/2604223-aiandarts-02-web.jpeg\",\"keywords\":[\"College of Arts &amp;
