NDTV Yuva 2025 Mumbai Conclave | Is AI A Threat To Musicians? Javed Akhtar And Armaan Malik Weigh In
Asked how one can deal with the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on creativity, Javed Akhtar, who joined Armaan Malik on the stage for the session, said, "If there's a choice between AI and human stupidity, I would prefer AI. Having said that right now AI is walking on all fours. It has very humble beginnings, but we don't know what will happen in 5-10 years." "But AI is no threat to creativity. It's like a good secretary who can write letters for you... AI will have to wait for decades to match with humans because AI didn't have childhood trauma or failed affairs," added the veteran screenwriter and poet. Singer Armaan Malik echoed a similar sentiment, demanding that authorities introduce a legislation when it comes to copyright of voices of singers.
