McCartney used AI to extract Lennon\u2019s voice from an old demo to complete the music piece. The track, rumored as John Lennon\u2019s song \u201cNow And Then\u201d from 1978, is expected to be released this year. This is the latest in the use of AI in the music industry. Artists both fear and celebrate the possibilities AI brings. For us, it was another reason to explore the impact of AI on the industry. For Albert Jan, it was an ignition of his own creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid all the news about the dangers of AI (yes, we need to be very careful and suspicious!), it\u2019s also good to keep an eye on the new possibilities for a wide range of industries.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/forget-utopia-erase-dystopia-how-ai-can-become-every-bart-brouwers%3FtrackingId=bFihrCzbTm%252BIztoLviwVVQ%253D%253D\/?trackingId=bFihrCzbTm%2BIztoLviwVVQ%3D%3D\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Including journalism<\/a>, our own field of expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, we asked MidJourney (an AI service for creating images) to come up with a picture of the Beatles crossing Abbey Road, 50 years later.
