AR Rahman has achieved yet another milestone as he recently met OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and they are all set to collaborate on a futuristic project. The two are coming on board for Rahman’s AI-powered musical metaverse Secret Mountain.
Collaboration for a Musical Metaverse
AR Rahman and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are joining hands as they brainstorm over the singer’s upcoming virtual global band project, where AI will blend seamlessly with music.
Empowering Indian Creators
AR Rahman met Sam Altman recently at the latter’s office, where they discussed at length about the various ways by which Indian creators can be empowered. They also spoke about the many generational challenges that these creators have to combat and how they can be dealt with using AI.
Sharing the Collaboration
AR Rahman took to his social media to share the happy news of their collaboration, as he penned, “It was a pleasure meeting @sama at his office …we discussed Secret Mountain, our virtual global band, and to empower and uplift Indian minds to use AI tools to address generational challenges and lead the way forward. EPI @chatgptindia @OpenAI, #arrimmersiveentertainment, @hashgraph.”
AR Rahman had shared a video titled “Introducing the Secret Mountain” on YouTube last year. While the update did not reveal much, it did drop hints on an upcoming project that Rahman was working on.
Unique Storytelling Through Innovation
The video laid the groundwork for using an enhanced version of storytelling through innovation, against the backdrop of a mystical metaverse world. It is the tale of a young woman, Luna, who is transported to Secret Mountain, a different world where she meets many varied musical characters from diverse backgrounds, each with a unique style.
Transcending Geographical Boundaries with Music
Rahman aims to bring singers and mentors from across the world to one cohesive platform, including countries like Ireland, China, Africa, and India. The message is simple – music transcends geographical boundaries.
Bringing Music and AI Together
AR Rahman is all set to team up with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to build a metaverse where music meets AI. The aim is to build a virtual global band that brings singers and mentors to one platform, and to come up with unique ways of using AI to support Indian creators through technology.
