MIR technology is not value-neutral; the authors highlight algorithmic and data biases, cultural relativity of copyright, ethical problems in MIR scientific practice, and the remoteness of development from end users.
"This article argues that MIR technology is not value-neutral but is influenced by design choices, and so has unintended and ethically relevant implications. [...] The article calls attention to biases that are introduced by algorithms and data used for MIR technology, cultural issues related to copyright, and ethical problems in MIR as a scientific practice. [...] especially those related to forms of bias and the remoteness of the technology development from end users."
