JAKARTA Nvidia, a leading company in chip supply and software for artificial intelligence (AI) systems, introduced a new AI model called Fugatto. The technology is designed to produce innovative music and audio effects, including the ability to modify sound and create new, unprecedented sounds.

Fugatto, abbreviated from Foundational Generative Audio Transformer Opus 1, allows users to change audio elements, such as changing accents in voice recordings or changing the emotional tone delivered. In fact, this technology can turn piano games into human singing sounds or make trumpet sounds resemble dog Barking.

However, Nvidia has no plans to release this technology publicly in the near future. "Every generative technology carries risks, such as potential abuse to create unwanted things. Therefore, we must be careful," said Bryan Catanzaro, Vice President of In-Applied Learning Research at Nvidia.

Fugatto uses open source data in his training, similar to approaches taken by other big companies such as Meta and OpenAI in generating technology. However, both Nvidia and other companies are still discussing how this technology can be released safely without opening up opportunities for abuse, such as the creation of false information or copyright infringement.

Fugatto is projected to have a major impact on the music, film and video game industry. "AI is generative about bringing new capabilities into music, video games, and also for individuals who want to create something creative," said Catanzaro.

However, the relationship between technology and the entertainment industry remains a challenge. Previously, Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson accused OpenAI of imitating her voice. This shows that this technology still requires better regulation and regulation.

With the development of Fugatto, Nvidia continues to emphasize its position as the main innovator in the world of AI, while balancing between innovation and ethical responsibility.
