The history of artificial intelligence gains another chapter. Recently, a Korean company called Supertone was sold to HYBE (a South Korean company known for managing the group BTS), which acquired the business group because of software with the power to create a realistic and human-like voice. humans.
So, the Artificial intelligence comes to the world of music. In 2021, Supertone had already revealed the software, technology called Singing Voice Synthesis (SVS). At the time, the surprise was pleasing, as it worked perfectly well and therefore the novelty is promising, check it out.

Deceased folk star's voice recreated
Supertone introduced the tool by creating the voice of Kim-Kwang-seok, a South Korean folk singer who died in 1996. On the occasion, the singer's voice appears in a new song, to everyone's surprise. Through artificial intelligence, Supertone's tool was able to understand the logic behind a hundred songs by different singers in order to develop their own style.
Soon after, the system studied Kim-Kwang's songs and understood the singer's voice, melody and intonations. With that, artificial intelligence created a new song very close to the one sung by Kim.
HYBE's interest in Supertone's technology
Supertone is the company responsible for managing major k-pop phenomena in South Korea, such as BTS. However, as the band members will be performing mandatory military service in the country, HYBE has become interested in using Supertone's software to possibly create new BTS songs.
There are discussions around the topic that can apparently make it advantageous to use the SVS tool to create songs, such as non-payment of wages, royalties, per diems or other expenses related to the process creative.
The other side of the argument is determining who owns the copyright to a work created by artificial intelligence. The code programmer? The machine? Or software and hardware manufacturers? There are still no answers about this.
Creating music with AI is a long-held dream of scientists
The idea of producing music with the help of artificial intelligence is an old dream of scientists. The limitations mainly came up against how to make a machine learn how to create sounds, in addition to making the human voice as close as possible to the real thing.
Some experiences are already available to the general public, such as Jukedeck, a British company that allows users to create music, or Amper Music and Amadeus Code, companies American.
