The last song of “The Beatles” named “Now and Then” was released last year with the help of machine learning techniques and artificial intelligence, and now it has been nominated for 2 Grammy Awards; awardThe best song of the year” and “The best rock song of the year».
It’s been 50 years since The Beatles disbanded, but last year Paul McCartney, one of its members, decided to enlist the help of artificial intelligence to create “The Last Beatles Song.” Now and Then, now nominated for a Grammy, was actually recorded years ago and McCartney improved the sound quality with the help of artificial intelligence last year.
Using artificial intelligence to release a Beatles song
Now and Then was recorded by the late Beatles singer John Lennon in the late 1970s and released by Paul McCartney in November 2023. The lack of technology was the reason why this song was not released until last year. This technology was needed to separate John’s vocals and the sound of the piano, but in 2021, “Peter Jackson”, the director of the films “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit”, along with his team for the documentary “The Beatles: Get Back” succeeded. with artificial intelligence.
Grammy rules say only “human creators” are eligible to win, but allow the use of artificial intelligence elements in songs. For this reason, although the Beatles released the song Now and Then with the help of artificial intelligence, they are eligible to receive a Grammy Award.
This song has to compete with big rivals such as “Beyoncé”, “Taylor Swift” and “Billie Eilish” for the title of the best song of the year. The last time The Beatles received 3 Grammys in 1997.
