Sukhwinder Singh on attack on singers

When asked if the music world has become a threat because of certain lyrics or community threats. Sighting exaple of what happened with Sidhu Moose Wala, Singh answers, “As we say, whenever there is any such kind of incident, we say that the world has become very bad. But the ones who say so also live in the same world, does that mean even you are a wrong person? We will have to specifically name who is involved.

Sukhwinder Singh on AI

Talking about how AI is affecting the music industry, Singh says,” Using AI today to just change the voice of one singer to another, or add it to your own. I have always said, that I work sincerely not seriously. Well in AI you cannot copy the originality of a singer. You can figure out that it is an artificial sound. However, some people get involved in doing such mischief. AI cannot replace the fact that it is my voice, it cannot steal my fragrance. AI is nothing but sound, it is a library. It has different kinds of music in it. You can always experiment to see if there is something new that you can create. The first target of AI was me as if I created this thing. Additionally, it can be used to implement something like changing music.”
