Paul McCartney has collaborated with countless artists over his 60-year career, from Rihanna to Michael Jackson. Now, the former Beatle has teamed up with artificial intelligence." this week, the 80-year-old revealed that AI has made it possible to release one "last Beatles record."The Beatles: Get BackThrough the use of artificial intelligence, they were able to start the process of taking the decades-old recording and turning it into something usable.
"[Peter Jackson] was able to extricate John's voice from a ropey little bit of cassette," he said. "He could tell the machine 'That's the voice. This is the guitar. Lose the guitar.'"Paul McCartney "We were able to take John's voice and get it pure through this AI," McCartney continued. "Then we could mix the record as you would normally do."Though he called recent uses of AI in music "kind of scary" — in April, a rap song featuring AI-generated voices mimicking Drake and The Weeknd was— the "Let It Be" singer admitted that the technology is "exciting, because it's the future.
