The Beatles’ Final Song Restored with AI Up for Two Grammys
The Beatles’ final song, “Now and Then”, completed with AI technology, is up for two Grammy Awards nearly 50 years after the band split. Originally recorded by John Lennon in the late 1970s, the track was finished after Peter Jackson’s team used machine learning to separate the vocals. Now nominated for Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance, “Now and Then” will compete with artists like Beyoncé and Pearl Jam. The 2025 Grammy Awards will reveal if this AI-assisted comeback will make history.
OpenAI's ChatGPT-5 is anticipated to launch between late 2024 and early 2025, promising more human-like conversations and enhanced multimodal capabilities, covering text, images, and audio processing. Key improvements include better customization and personalization to adapt to diverse user needs. The model is undergoing rigorous training and testing to ensure safety, reliability, and ethical AI use. Pricing specifics are yet to be revealed, though a subscription model similar to previous versions is expected. OpenAI plans to share detailed feature updates closer to the official release.
