Social media users were surprisingly shocked recently upon witnessing a video that features the voice of former Team India captain MS Dhoni and international singing sensation Taylor Swift, among others, singing to Arijit Singh’s popular hit Channa Mereya.
The video also features the voices of several highly recognised national and international singers, matching the musical vibes of MS Dhoni and Taylor Swift. Later, it was revealed that the entire video was made using AI music-making technology.
The Concerns Over AI
Global tech gurus have expressed their concerns over the impending dangers of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in recent years. Since the advent of ChatGPT last year, the concept and reach of AI have advanced incredibly in various spheres of human life.
Before 2022, most of us didn’t even pay heed to AI until ChatGPT took the entire world by storm. Soon after the launch of ChatGPT, this AI tool was touted as the newest and most powerful competitor to Google, the most widely used search engine on the planet.
During the first week of its launch, ChatGPT was downloaded by a whopping and staggering number of people worldwide. The incredible computing power and to-the-point replies of this ChatGPT have awed the entire world!
Upon The Arrival Of DeepFake Tech
When ChatGPT was busy wooing the world, another AI tool’s resurrection left us immensely surprised. DeepFake tech first surfaced on the internet a few years ago; the tech was used to create a fake video of highly celebrated Hollywood star Tom Cruise interacting with the viewers. Soon after, the world awakened to this new technology that possesses the capability to morph any person’s face into someone else’s face.
Many notable global celebrities have fallen prey to the clutches of DeepFake. Starting from Tom Cruise to former US President Barack Obama, we have been incredibly shocked by the extent to which DeepFake technology can go. The primary reason why DeepFake technology is turning heads is that videos created using this technology look shockingly real and authentic.
In recent times, DeepFake videos of well-known celebrities such as Rashmika Mandana, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, Sara Tendulkar (Sachin Tendulkar’s daughter), and Indian PM Narendra Modi have been doing the rounds on the internet. Someone completely unaware of the existence of DeepFake would consider the “DeepFaked” videos featuring imminent personalities to be true.
About AI Voice Cloning Technology
AI Voice Cloning Technology is a new-age invention that can be used to clone the voice of any person using his or her voice data to create fabricated voice samples that resemble the voice of the original person. Recently, we have seen many people targeted by scammers who call up and dupe them of their money by pretending to be someone the person knows very well.

The AI-generated music video ingeniously blends the voices of eminent singers such as Adnan Sami, Atif Aslam, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Jubin Nautiyal, and Ariana Grande, among others. Instagrammers are already showering immense love as well as adorations on this video.
More Insights Into This News
These days, DJ MRA isn’t the only one who is experimenting with AI tools to recreate our favourite Hindi songs in the voices of others. Many other social media content creators are now experimenting with free AI tools to recreate their favourite songs and share those videos on social media.
In this age of AI, creating fabricated music for different purposes has become smooth and seamless. But the concern remains: can AI possibly take control of the music industry that is run by human singers and composers? Can Artificial intelligence take over the jobs of people in the music industry? Only time knows the answer!
