Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role in the world of music, especially for Generation Z who grew up in the digital age. However, understanding of how AI drives musical creativity in the context of music education is still limited, especially in West Papua and Papua. This study aims to analyze the influence of awareness, perception, and intention to use AI on Generation Z's musical creativity and innovation, using the theory of affordance as a theoretical foundation. The study employs a quantitative approach with the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method on 219 respondents from West Papua and Papua provinces. The analysis results indicate that the intention to use AI (p = 0.000) and positive perceptions of AI in general (p = 0.000) have a significant influence on AI-based musical creativity, with moderate predictive power (R² = 0.461). This creativity was then found to encourage the use of AI in musical activities (p = 0.000) and the music creation process (p = 0.000), although both showed weak predictive power (R² = 0.292 and R² = 0.251). Conversely, awareness of AI (p = 0.509) and perceptions of AI in the context of music education (p = 0.135) did not significantly influence creativity. These findings suggest that positive intentions and perspectives toward AI are more decisive in driving creativity than awareness levels. Therefore, a contextual approach to digital music education that encourages active exploration is needed to optimize the potential of AI in enhancing creativity.

Abstract

Social media now plays a crucial role in supporting economic activities. Facebook Reels, for instance, as a short video feature, offers economic opportunities for its users. However, understanding the factors that encourage continued usage remains limited. This study aims to explore the influence of trust and habit on users’ intention to keep using Facebook Reels for economic purposes (N=174 active users). We integrated the Technology Continuance Theory (TCT) applied Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) for the analysis. The results show that both factors significantly influence continuance intention (R² = 78.7%), although they do not directly affect user attitude. Attitude is influenced only by reciprocal benefits (R² = 62%). These findings indicate that in regions with limited digital infrastructure such as West Papua, the success of digital platforms strongly depends on building user trust and encouraging consistent usage habit. This study offers valuable insights for platform developers and policymakers in designing strategies to help users continue using the platform over time and support the growth of the local digital economy.
