Paul McCartney Says AI was Used to Restore John Lennon's Voice for Final Beatles Record
Paul McCartney has announced that artificial intelligence (AI) was used to restore the vocals of his former bandmate John Lennon from an old recording, using a low-quality cassette recording. The restored Lennon vocals were incorporated into a demo, ultimately completing the song, which is believed to be a Lennon composition in 1978 titled "Now And Then." The utilization of AI enables the completion of "Now And Then" and allows McCartney to perform alongside Lennon's vocals during his recent tour. The use of AI in music production offers opportunities to enhance and restore old recordings. However, this raises ethical concerns surrounding the authenticity of posthumously generated content. McCartney acknowledges both the good and scary side of AI and its impact on the music industry.
