Paul McCartney says there will be a new Beatles record – created with help from artificial intelligence. McCartney, one of the two living Beatles, said AI was used to extricate the late John Lennon's vocals from a previously recorded track.
During an interview with BBC Radio, McCartney, 80, was asked about how AI has been used to replicate his young voice and even "bring voices back from the grave," by mimicking the late John Lennon and George Harrison.
"It's a very interesting thing," McCartney said. "It's something we're all sort of tackling at the moment in terms of trying to deal with what's it mean." He admitted he's not on the internet much but he has heard of AI-produced tracks that use the former band members' voices.
Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday said it will consider the constitutionality of the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Fund, agreeing to review a lower court decision that upended the mechanism for funding programs that provide communications services to rural areas, low-income communities and schools, libraries and hospitals.
