The Beatles star told the BBC he has finished a new song using AI to recreate John Lennon's voice. LONDON — Beatles singer-songwriter Paul McCartney told the BBC that artificial intelligence was used to "extricate" and clean up the vocals of former bandmate John Lennon from an old recording, allowing them to feature in an upcoming track. It's something we're all sort of tackling at the moment and trying to deal with," McCartney told the BBC's "Today" program when asked about AI. AI was used to identify Lennon's vocals as distinct from instrumentals and background interference. "There's a good side to it and then a scary side, and we'll just have to see where that leads," McCartney told the BBC.
