         It seems inevitable nowadays to mention generative artificial
         intelligence (AI) when talking about art and creativity, as it
         is a phenomenon that has emerged with an unusual force in these
         artistic fields. Although artificial intelligence has been part
         of the music world for years, either in music creation per se or
         in algorithms that structure visibility and thus condition
         listening on streaming platforms, now the leap of Generative
         Artificial Intelligence is posing new scenarios for the
         creation, distribution, trade, and consumption of music. In
         Kantatzen Duten Herriak (KDH), a conference interested on
         contemporary sounds and music's relationship with the social
         sphere, in this new edition (and it's the seventh), we join the
         discussions on the emergence of AI. To ensure that KDH remains a
         tool for research and debate, our guests and collaborators will
         help us understand this phenomenon and its present and future
         implications.


         There are many technologies, from printing to the internet,
         through photography, cinema, television, computers, or
         smartphones, that have subverted the order of things at very
         different levels: technologically, of course, but also
         cognitively, symbolically, legally, culturally, pedagogically,
         and economically. In line with this, we are presenting a new
         call for papers from KDH to receive proposals that study these
         themes and help us understand in all its dimensions a technology
         that, although we do not know exactly how long it has been with
         us, it has recently exploded and begun to show both its
         possibilities and its threats.

         We invite you to submit oral communications, sound
         interventions, performative conferences, small format concerts,
         etc., that approach AI from different perspectives: those that
         consider it a tool or a new resource for creativity, others that
         see certain uses as a threat to authors, those that discuss the
         ethics of some of its applications, or even reflections on its
         uses in education or in the production of subjectivity and
         social construction of taste. This does not preclude the
         possibility of other themes related to what we always openly
         address in these conferences: music, culture, creativity, and
         its broad relationship with the social sphere. Proposals can be
         in-person or online, in any of the peninsular languages and
         English. And as always, in a free space, with no registration 
fees.

         Proposals to (kdh.the /at/ ehu.eus) until *March 12th.*

         The conference brings together different approaches to the study
         of popular music from various academic disciplines such as
         sociology, education, arts, anthropology, communication, or
         cultural studies. It also focuses on their practice, experience,
         and experimentation, incorporating sound and musical
         interventions. Its aim is to establish connections between
         researchers that work on music and cultural and leisure studies,
         among themselves, but also with musicians or programmers.
