The Beatles record to be released this year thanks to AI

A "last" Beatles song, featuring the voice of late member John Lennon, will be released this year thanks to the use of artificial intelligence, Paul McCartney has said.

In an interview with BBC Radio 4 , McCartney did not name the track but said the technology was used on "a demo that John had, that we worked on".

"So when we came to make what will be the last Beatles record... we were able to take John's voice and get it pure through this AI (artificial intelligence), so that then we could mix the record as you would normally do," the singer-songwriter, 80, said.

"We just finished it up, it will be released this year."

The BBC said in an online article that the song was likely to be "Now and Then", which Lennon recorded as a demo in 1978, two years before his death in 1980.

McCartney said director Peter Jackson had used the technology for the documentary series "The Beatles: Get Back".
"He was able to extricate John's voice from a ropey little bit of cassette," McCartney said. "We had John's voice and a piano, he could separate them with AI."

That an extremely tone deaf and disrespectful to do. Sooner world Governments outright ban AI, the better!

In their defense, it doesn't sound like this was completely artifically constructed, it was just able to be filtered better to remove the instruments through use of AI. Releasing it after their death still icky to me but this process is nothing new
