AR Rahman’s Ethical Use of AI Honors Late Singers in New Song
Acclaimed musician AR Rahman has taken a pioneering step in the music industry by integrating AI technology into his latest song “Thimiri Yezhuda” from the film “Lal Salaam”. This innovative approach involved using the voices of late singers Bamba Bakya and Shahul Hameed, recreated through AI. Prioritizing ethical considerations, Rahman sought permission from their families and ensured proper remuneration for the use of the singers’ voice algorithms. This blend of technology and tradition in music has evoked mixed reactions, highlighting both the potential and the complexities of AI in the creative domain.
