OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is in the process of developing a cutting-edge artificial intelligence tool that can produce music based on text and audio cues, as per a recent report by The Information. The tool is envisaged to be handy for composing music for videos and crafting instrumental accompaniments, such as guitar melodies to complement vocal recordings. Specifics regarding when the tool will be launched or if it will be incorporated into existing OpenAI platforms like ChatGPT or Sora, the video generator, are presently unclear.
As per an insider cited in The Information’s report, OpenAI has been working closely with students from the renowned Juilliard School, a music institution in New York, to annotate musical compositions that could be utilized as training data for the AI model. While OpenAI has previously dabbled in generative music systems, these initiatives were undertaken before the introduction of ChatGPT in 2022. This strategic move positions OpenAI in direct competition with other companies exploring AI-driven music technologies, such as Google and Suno, both of which have already rolled out tools capable of producing music in response to user prompts.
