description Introduction. At present, the artificial intelligence (AI) technologies develop rapidly, and spread widely in diverse spheres of human activity. One of the spheres where AI is actively involved, is art in all the variety of its manifestations. The AI usage in art spawns not only new creative and technological opportunities, but also new social and cultural challenges, that require timely reflection from the point of view of social philosophy. The article aims to identify the foundations of the aforementioned reflection for the studies of AI in musical art.Methodology and sources. The article uses general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, methodology of interdisciplinary approach, and philosophical methodology in the domain of research of social practices, that define the usage of AI in musical art. Foreign (A.-M. Gioti, N. Hageback, D. Hedblom et al.) and domestic (M.C. Burtsev, R.I. Mamina,E.V. Piraynen, A.V. Popova et al.) scientific research literature, and electronic resources dedicated to the AI and to the AI in musical art in particular, are used as sources.Results and discussion. The author has considered the theoretical foundations of studies of AI at the present stage of its development. Philosophical foundations of research of AI in art were analyzed. The peculiarities of using the AI in musical art were discussed. Strategies for studying the specificity of using the AI in musical art were matched to the foundations of research of the AI in the domain of social philosophy.Conclusion. When studying the usage of the AI in arts, the research strategies can be rooted in several key foundations in the domain of social philosophy. The relative importance of the aforementioned foundations can vary depending on details of specific theme. In case of musical art, at least three of these foundations can be identified. More specifically, they are defined by choosing a point of view on the social subjectness of AI, on the capability of AI to create objects of culture, on the importance of social and cultural context for the evaluation of perspectives and limits of AI usage scenarios. Criteria for the decision between the aforementioned strategies include answers to the following questions. Firstly, the question about the nature of motivation that guides subjects of creative activity. Secondly, the question about the paradigm in the domain of social philosophy that constitutes the basis of the research. Finally, the question about the worldview and values of social groups that are in the focus of research attention.
