According to a report by The informationOpenAI is interested in developing a tool that can generate music from text and audio messages, and has been working with students at The Juilliard School to help with the creation of training data. The company envisions something that could be used to generate guitar accompaniment for a vocal track, for example, or to add music to videos, sources with knowledge of the project told the publication.

It is unknown how far along OpenAI is in these efforts. According to a source who spoke with The informationOpenAI recruited Juilliard students to annotate musical scores, which could be used to train AI. It wouldn’t be the first time the company has explored Music generating AIand it’s something we’re seeing more and more elsewhere with other startups, like Suno and ElevenLabs, launching their own versions.
