Composer AR Rahman is not against Artifical Intelligence (AI), but he doesn't think it can really ever stand as a substitute for artistes and their creativity.

Speaking to The Week, the Maestro of Madras said, "AI helps in the mastering process, but creating a tune still requires a human heart and philosophical mind. I believe the future will belong to real musicians going on stage with a guitar and a song. I feel that, with digitisation, we will value the flaws even more, ‘Oh, it’s real, see? He is out of tune.’"

"AI is Frankenstein, trained on collected, stolen knowledge. [It] is good as a starting tool. I use AI for posters. Sometimes the result surprises you, and sometimes it is very bad, in which case I use a combination of Photoshop and AI," Rahman added.

During the same interview, Rahman spoke about the director he would like to collaborate with again. "Mani Ratnam! I think the more trust you have in someone, the more you torture yourself. Some directors are very clear about what they want, so the projects move faster. But Mani Ratnam will say, ‘Give me something,’ and you wonder and torture yourself to give him something inspiring. Meanwhile, he quietly enjoys it, in a good way, of course," Rahman signed off.

AR Rahman and Tamil director Mani Ratnam have collaborated on multiple projects over the years, including Roja, Bombay, Yuva and Guru, among more.
