AI technology rescues John Lennon's vocals for final Beatles song.

Paul McCartney has revealed that AI tools were used to extract John Lennon's vocals from a low-quality cassette recording to create the foundation for a track on what will be the last Beatles record, set to be released later this year. The technology was developed for the recent Beatles documentary Get Back and allowed the team to separate Lennon's voice from background noise and instrumentation. The track is likely to be "Now and Then," a song recorded by Lennon prior to his death in 1980. McCartney expressed excitement about the possibilities of using AI to restore old recordings but also acknowledged the "scary" side of hearing Lennon's voice singing one of his songs through AI.
