Nvidia's Sound Magic: AI Meets Audio Creativity

A world where sounds can be created from scratch, just by typing a description. Nvidia's latest AI model, "Fugatto, " is doing just that. This isn't your average AI; it can make sounds that have never existed before. The secret lies in special training methods and combining techniques. While you can't play with Fugatto yet, Nvidia has shown off some cool samples. Want a choir of singing sirens? Done. Voices echoing like they're underwater? No problem. It's like having a super toolbox for sound.The tricky part is the data. AI needs good training data, and audio data can be tough. Nvidia's team used an AI to write Python code and create instructions for different "audio personas, " like happy voices or professional tones. They turned to open source audio datasets and used other AI tools to describe and measure traits, like how happy or clear a voice sounds.
