The discipline of Music-AI is defined as that activity which seeks to program computers to perform musical tasks in an intelligent, which possibly means human- like way. A brief historical survey of different approaches within the discipline is presented. Two particular issues arise: the explicit representation of knowledge; and symbolic and subsymbolic representation and processing. When attempting to give a precise definition of Music-AI, it is argued that all musical processes must make some reference to human behaviour, and so Music-AI is a central rather than a peripheral discipline for musical computing. However, it turns out that the goals of Music-AI as first expressed, the mimicking of human behaviour, are impossible to achieve in full, and that it is impossible, in principle, for computers to pass a musical version of the Turing test. In practice, however, computers are used for their non-human-like behaviour just as much as their human-like behaviour, so the real goal of Music-AI must be reformulated. Furthermore, it is argued that the non-holistic analysis of human behaviour which this reformulation entails is actually informative for our understanding of human behaviour. Music-AI could also be fruitfully concerned with developing musical intelligences which were explicitly not human. Music-AI is then seen to be as much a creative enterprise as a scientific one.
