"The Rundown: Country music star Randy Travis just released his first new song in over a decade, using AI to recreate his voice years after a stroke left him unable to speak or sing.
The details:
Travis's new song "Where That Came From" was made by training an AI model on past recordings to generate a voice clone.
The voice clone was then layered over guide vocals provided by another singer to craft the track.
The 65-year-old Country Music Hall of Fame inductee suffered a near-fatal stroke in 2013 that severely impacted his speech.
Why it matters: While the use of AI in music has sparked both excitement and controversy, Travis’ song is a good example of the tech’s potential to unlock new creative possibilities — even for those who may no longer have the ability to physically sing."
