Now and Then’s eventful journey to fruition took place over five decades and is the product of conversations and collaborations between the four Beatles that go on to this day. The long mythologised John Lennon demo was first worked on in February 1995 by Paul, George and Ringo as part of The Beatles Anthology project but it remained unfinished, partly because of the impossible technological challenges involved in working with the vocal John had recorded on tape in the 1970s. For years it looked like the song could never be completed. But in 2022 there was a stroke of serendipity. A software system developed by Peter Jackson and his team, used throughout the production of the documentary series Get Back, finally opened the way for the uncoupling of John’s vocal from his piano part. As a result, the original recording could be brought to life and worked on anew with contributions from all four Beatles. This remarkable story of musical archaeology reflects The Beatles’ endless creative curiosity and shared fascination with technology. It marks the completion of the last recording that John, Paul and George and Ringo will get to make together and celebrates the legacy of the foremost and most influential band in popular music history.
i believe what was said was true in many ways about,
“The British Invasion.”
Rocky Racoon was one of there songs i liked.
Do not care much for the Ai tech that is bringing artist back to life. This is wrong and will continue to spiral as most things do.
This is not AI but technology (special effects). I did not see any AI for vocals being reproduced or for any musical effects. AI would be if a new song was written, sung and music added that was computer generated. That is why this will be the last song released by the Beatles.

Ai technology was used (machine learning.) Also remember a concert with Prince after his passing using Hologram technology.
From your link:
In the clip, Jackson explains how his team managed to isolate instruments and vocals from recordings using AI, including the original tape of “Now and Then” which Lennon recorded as a home demo in the late 1970s.
A program was used to separate his voice but not duplicate or replicate it. If you want to call that technology AI instead of a computer program, go ahead; I do not call that AI.
