Nvidia on Monday showed a new artificial intelligence model for generating music and audio that can modify voices and generate novel sounds - technology aimed at the producers of music, films and video games.

Rafael Valle, a key researcher behind Fugatto and NVIDIA's Manager of Applied Audio Research, said their goal was to create an AI model capable of understanding and generating sounds like humans. The company has detailed a few potential real-world applications of this tech.

"We wanted to create a model that understands and generates sound like humans do," said Rafael Valle, one of the researchers behind the project and a manager of applied audio research at NVIDIA. The company listed some possible real-world scenarios wherein Fugatto could be of use in its announcement.
