Paul McCartney reveals artificial intelligence was used to create a new Beatles song, originating from a rough 1978 John Lennon demo
At the end of an interview with the BBC released on Tuesday, Paul McCartney dropped a bombshell about a new – and “final” – Beatles song that had been brought to life with the help of artificial intelligence. The unnamed track, to be released some time this year, is believed to have originated from a rough demo of a 1978 John Lennon composition called“We were able to take John’s voice and get it pure through AI,” the 82-year-old pop icon explained.

The same type of concerns were targeted at CMW, where Music Canada’s Miranda Mulholland led a panel discussion titled Artificial Intelligence and Safeguarding Human Artistry. It addressed not only the risks posed to artists but the benefits AI could bring them. Tools to unlock creativity, such as songwriting apps, were touted as ways AI could enhance, not replace, human creativity.
