Paul McCartney says he has created “the final Beatles record” with the help of artificial intelligence.
“We just finished it up and it’ll be released this year,” the 80-year-old musician told BBC Radio 4’s Today.
McCartney did not name the song but it is believed to be “Now and Then,” which John Lennon recorded as a demo in his New York City apartment shortly before his 1980 murder.
“We were able to take John's voice and get it pure through this AI,” explained McCartney. “Then we can mix the record, as you would normally do. So it gives you some sort of leeway.”
McCartney said artificial intelligence is “kind of scary but exciting.”
