Paul McCartney Defends AI-Generated Beatles Song as Authentic

Paul McCartney clarified that the final Beatles song to be released later this year was not created by AI, but AI was used to "extricate" John Lennon's voice from a demo recording. The song is speculated to be Lennon's 1978 composition titled "Now and Then." The use of AI in music has been a growing concern in the industry, with some arguing it violates intellectual property rights. McCartney acknowledged the use of AI in music is "kind of scary," but said it's something the industry is trying to deal with.
