OpenAI is working on a tool for AI-assisted music creation

According to a report from The Information, OpenAI is working on a tool that can generate music based on text and audio queries. OpenAI is partnering with students at the prestigious Juilliard School to create the training data. According to sources, the project aims to create technology that can, for example, automatically match guitar accompaniment to a vocal track or add music to video clips.

It’s not yet known what stage the development is at. An interviewee told The Information that Juilliard students are helping OpenAI mark up musical scores that can be used to train the model. This isn’t the first time the company has shown interest in generating music using artificial intelligence.

The direction of music AI has been growing strongly in recent months — startups like Suno and ElevenLabs have already unveiled their solutions. But as interest has grown, problems have emerged: a flood of low-quality AI-generated content is beginning to flood streaming platforms, and some cases like The Velvet Sundown scandal demonstrate the potential risks and complexities of the new technology.
