AR Rahman defends decision to use AI in music, credits it as a 'tool to speed up things’

Renowned musician AR Rahman has sparked a conversation in the music industry after revealing his use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recreating the voices of two late singers, Bamba Bakya and Shahul Hameed, for the song "Thimiri Yezhuda" in Rajinikanth's “Lal Salaam”. While the decision has drawn criticism, Rahman stands firm, defending the integration of AI as a means to enhance efficiency rather than replace human talent.
