If the AI's brain was an exact copy of the human brain (it wouldn't matter if it had chips instead of neurons,"connectivity" is what it really matters), then i would think that it actually has consciousness and that it shares the same cognitive abilities with the human mind such as creativity. Hence it wouldn't differ from the human one in any respect. As a result,
if complex AI mind= Human mind
Then AI music = Human music.
So, whats the big deal?
Oh by the way, the experimental composer Iannis Xenakis writes music which is purely based in various mathematical theories. According to his myspace page:
He is particularly remembered for his pioneering electronic and computer music, and for the use of stochastic mathematical techniques in his compositions, including probability (Maxwell-Boltzmann kinetic theory of gases in Pithoprakta, aleatory distribution of points on a plane in Diamorphoses, minimal constraints in Achorripsis, Gaussian distribution in ST/10 and Atrčes, Markov chains in Analogiques), game theory (in Duel and Stratégie), group theory (Nomos Alpha), and Boolean algebra (in Herma and Eonta), Brownian motion (in N'Shima). In keeping with his use of probabilistic theories, many of Xenakis's pieces are, in his own words, "a form of composition which is not the object in itself, but an idea in itself, that is to say, the beginnings of a family of compositions." Unlike most of his contemporaries (i.e. Milton Babbitt, Schoenberg), Xenakis did not want the listener to be aware of the forms and theories used to produce his compositions. In 1966, Xenakis founded the Centre for AUTOMATIC (not very far from a cheap AI eh?) and Mathematical Music in Paris and subsequently set up a similar centre at Indiana University. In 1962 he published Musique Formelles — later revised, expanded and translated into Formalized Music: Thought and Mathematics in Composition in 1971 — a collection of essays on his musical ideas and composition techniques.
Why not take a listen?

So, this would be the actual music if the AI's brain did not resemble that of a human, but was instead based on stochastic mathematical formulas! (like Xenakis did).
