Abstract

This initial survey investigates the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and acoustic systems in performance environments, focusing on automation and sound optimization. Using the State-of-the-Art method, studies published between 2018 and 2024 were analyzed, selected based on thematic relevance, technical innovation, and methodological clarity. The sample includes solutions such as intelligent passive systems, adaptive surfaces, and algorithms for real-time reverberation control. Despite technological advances, many studies remain limited to simulations or prototypes, with little validation in real-world contexts. There is also limited participation from architects and sound designers, which restricts more integrated and user-centered approaches. It is concluded that the intersection between AI and acoustics is an emerging field with strong potential to transform the auditory experience in multifunctional spaces.
