While I admire Rahman sir's vision, I hope AI doesn't replace human creativity completely. Our classical music traditions need to be preserved with human touch. But excited to see how this develops!

I hope they discuss making AI tools available in regional Indian languages too. Not everyone is comfortable with English interfaces. This could really democratize music creation across India.
