Using Artificial Intelligence… The Beatles Are Releasing a New Song.

The Beatles plan to release a new song using artificial intelligence. John Lennon’s vocals will be used using artificial intelligence. “We were able to take John’s voice and get it pure through this AI, so that then we could mix the record as you would normally do. It gives you some sort of leeway.” ~Paul McCartney

Artificial Intelligence to Recreate Music

While artificial intelligence has been used to recreate music in the style of deceased performers, such as Tupac Shakur, the idea of using AI to reproduce music specifically by the Beatles or any other deceased artists raises legal and ethical considerations.

The use of AI to recreate music by iconic bands like the Beatles would require obtaining the rights and permissions from the original copyright holders, typically the artists’ estates or record labels. These rights holders have control over the use and reproduction of the artists’ work.

Additionally, recreating music by the Beatles using AI would involve capturing and analyzing a vast amount of their existing music to understand their unique style and characteristics. While AI algorithms can generate music that closely resembles an artist’s style, it’s important to note that true artistic creativity and expression come from human emotion and experience.

Therefore, while it is possible that in the future AI could be used to generate new compositions in the style of the Beatles or other deceased artists, it would require careful consideration of legal rights, ethical implications, and artistic integrity. The decision to pursue such endeavors would ultimately be up to the artists’ rights holders and potentially subject to public opinion and debate.

AI Quotes

“There’s a good side to it and then a scary side, and we’ll just have to see where that leads.” ~Paul McCartney
“Listening to Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking talk about artificial intelligence reminds me of the Jurassic Park scene where they talk about chaos theory.” ~Dave Waters
“I am in the camp that is concerned about artificial intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage it well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern. I agree with Elon Musk and some others on this and don’t understand why some people are not concerned.” ~Bill Gates
“We’re merging with these non-biological technologies. We’re already on that path. I mean, this little mobile phone I’m carrying on my belt is not yet inside my physical body, but that’s an arbitrary distinction. It is part of who I am—not necessarily the phone itself, but the connection to the cloud and all the resources I can access there.” ~Ray Kurzweil
“Everything that civilisation has to offer is a product of human intelligence; we cannot predict what we might achieve when this intelligence is magnified by the tools that AI may provide, but the eradication of war, disease, and poverty would be high on anyone’s list. Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last.”
~Stephen Hawking
“We used to think automation primarily took the jobs of factory workers. That is no longer the case with artificial intelligence.” ~Dave Waters
