It’s like mixing poison with oxygen: AR Rahman on the potential misuse of AI in music

MUMBAI: (Apr 16) Oscar-winner A R Rahman says there are both good and bad aspects to the use of artificial intelligence in music but there will be chaos if it is not controlled.
The musician is not averse to new technology in music and in fact used an AI software to recreate the voices of late singers Bamba Bakya and Shahul Hameed for a track, ‘Thimiri Yezhuda’ from Rajinikanth-starrer “Lal Salam”. But he did that with proper permission from the family of the musicians.
Rahman acknowledges that the use of AI in music has "gone wild".
