00:04an old demo to create what he calls the last Beatles record.
00:08McCartney says he learned about the power of AI when working on Peter Jackson's 2021
00:12documentary series, The Beatles Get Back.

00:19piano, and that AI was able to separate the two.

00:28allowed them to mix the record as you would normally.
00:30He says they recently finished the song and that it will be released this year.
00:34When asked about the power of AI, McCartney says he finds it kind of scary, but exciting
00:38because it's the future.
