Telecommunications Industry Artificial Intelligence Applications and ... - GlobeNewswire

Paul McCartney told the BBCs Radio 4 Today program there will be one final record by The Beatles, with a debate already staring about the method used Artificial Intelligence.

McCartney doesnt identify the song by name, but said it originated from a cassette John Lennon had recorded as a demo tape.

When we came to make what will be the last Beatles song, it was a demo that John had that wed worked on, McCartney told the BBC.

McCartney said he learned how AI could be used from director Peter Jackson, director of the acclaimed Beatles 2021 documentary, Get Back.

They then decided to use the technique on the Lennon demo.

He was able to extricate Johns voice from a ropey little bit of cassette, McCartney told the BBC. It had Johns voice and a piano.

McCartney related how Jackson could separate Lennons voice from the instrument through the use of AI.

They could tell the machine Thats a voice. This is a guitar. Lose the guitar, and he did that, so it has great uses, McCartney said.

We were able to take Johns voice and get it pure through this AI so that then we could mix the record as you would normally do, so it gives you some sort of leeway, McCartney said in his BBC interview.

So theres a good side to it and theres a scary side and well just have to wait and see where it leads, McCartney told the BBC.

McCartney agreed to the BBC interview to promote his new book, 1964: Eyes of the Storm which contains photographs by a young McCartney during the year when Beatlemania swept the U.S., like it had already done in Britain.

It reveals McCartney to be a gifted amateur photographer in addition to his musical and songwriting talents.

Although McCartney did not name the song given the AI treatment and set to be released later this year, Beatles sleuths are centering on a Lennon song titled Now and Then as a likely candidate.

A number of reasons seem to indicate they could be right.

Now and Then had been included among of small number of demo tapes recorded o a cassette that Lennon left behind following his murder in December, 1980.

Lennon wrote For Paul on the cassette, which included several songs.

Two of the others, Free as a Bird and Real Love, were completed by McCartney, along with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, so all four Beatles were featured on the two recordings: Lennon through his original demo recordings, with McCartney, Harrison and Starr adding their contributions through overdubbing.

Both were released as new Beatles songs when they were respectively released on The Beatles Anthology 1 and Anthology 2.

Anthology 1, released in 1995 included Free as a Bird, while Anthology 2 released in 1996 had Real Love.

When Anthology 3 saw release, also in 1996, some Beatles aficionados expected to see another Lennon demo the one titled Now and Then included but it was not on the track list.

In later interviews, McCartney revealed they had indeed worked on the song, but Harrison didnt like it, calling it rubbish so all three ceased working on it.

If Now and Then is the song McCartney is referring to as the final record by The Beatles, it creates a question of how Harrisons part would be included.

The tantalizing confirmation by McCartney that he, Harrison and Starr worked on the track before dropping it due to Harrisons lack of enthusiasm is intriguing.

Does that mean Harrison had already played a guitar solo and maybe even added a vocal harmony that has now been enhanced by AI?

If he didnt, does that mean AI has been used to emulate a Harrison guitar solo and maybe even to emulate Harrisons voice for a high harmony?

I hope thats not the case. Enhancing what Harrison has already done is one thing which is what it seems like the AI enhancement was used for to extricate Lennons vocal from a demo recording.

However, using AI to create something simply to emulate what Harrison may have done is another matter. To quote Winston Churchill, its something up with which I will not put. (Churchill didnt like ending sentences with prepositions).

Of course, Sir Paul and Peter Jackson wont be swayed by that, but, as I said, debate is already beginning among music fans as to whether AI should be used to enhance recordings by The Beatles.

But has that already been done? In his BBC interview McCartney makes it sound as if AI has already been utilized by Jackson to enhance the sound on the hours-long Get Back documentary.

Now, I wonder if AI was used to access that secret recording of what Lennon and McCartney thought was a private conversation after Harrison angrily quit the group for a time during the Get Back sessions.

In that conversation, Lennon told McCartney they didnt give Harrison any bandages for his wounded feelings.

The Beatles often used technology to enhance their recordings. Even in their early days, they and producer George Martin would often double-track the lead vocals, which is one of the reasons they seemed to jump right out of the speakers.

In later days, they used everything from tapes loops to guitar recordings played backwards on tracks from Revolver.

Martin has said he cut up tapes of different sound effects, tossed them in the air, then gathered and spliced them together to create that cacophony of sound on Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite!

Think of how Lennon and Martin used studio effects to electronically alter Lennons voice on Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds.

Even earlier, on the Rubber Soul album, producer Martin used studio effects to speed up the arrangement for his classical harpsichord solo on what many consider one of Lennons greatest songs, "In My Life."

As for the results of the previous two Lennon demos enhanced by his fellow Beatles and producer Jef Lynne, of ELO and Traveling Wilburys fame, they were fine and did nothing to reduce The Beatles legacy, even if they didnt quite rise to the level of Strawberry Fields Forever or I Am the Walrus.

I became curious about Lennons demo of Now and Then and a search revealed numerous recordings of the song mostly enhanced by fans adding their own musical flourishes. Some are pretty good, with one group even claiming to be The Beatles playing the song on Anthology 3. I guess they forgot Now and Then is not included as an Anthology 3 track.

Now and Then does have an intriguing chord structure and a haunted Lennon vocal.

In 2016, a new video surfaced of Free as a Bird filled with references to other Beatles songs. Ive had lots of fun trying to spot them all from time-to-time.

Adding to the fun is that The Beatles from their various incarnations pop up throughout the video, such as the lovable mop-tops of their early era to the uniforms and mustaches from their Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band days.

Of course, I could look up all the references to songs by The Beatles in the Free as a Bird video, but wheres the fun in that? OK, the tombstone engraved with the name Eleanor Rigby may be a bit obvious, but other references take a bit more detecting.

I prefer that sense of accomplishment when I spot a nurse selling poppies from a tray.

One more thing. Paul McCartneys late wife, Linda, once related the last words Lennon said to McCartney during their final conversation together:

Think about me every now and then, old friend.

When that final recording by the Beatles is issued, Ill be listening.

An AI in the Life: The Beatles and Artificial Intelligence - Mcalester News Capital

By the end of the decade, artificial intelligence (AI) will likely be so widespread that it will be hard to imagine a time without it. Experts in the field expect AI to play a central role in a diverse array of industries such as pharmaceutical research, transportation, security, and waste management, among many others. As such, AI might represent a once-in-a-lifetime type of opportunity for investors.

Which AI stocks are top buys right now? The digital content creation specialist Adobe (ADBE -1.73%) and the high-speed networking juggernaut Arista Networks (ANET -1.93%) are both poised to directly benefit from the surge in demand for all things AI. Read on to find out more about these top AI growth stocks.

Adobe effectively created the digital content creation software market. And though numerous competitors have popped up over the years, it still dominates this high-growth market by a wide margin.

The company's remarkable ability to stave off competitors stems from its laser-like focus on innovation. For instance, Adobe was one of the first companies in the space to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into its content creation ecosystem.

To wit, the software giant recently launched Firefly, a family of creative generative AI models designed to make popular programs like Photoshop and Illustrator more user-friendly. With Firefly, users can create, or refine, AI-generated content with simple text prompts.

Why is Firefly a big deal? While the basic functions of Adobe's digital content creation programs are fairly intuitive for first-time users, the more powerful features built into Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro have fairly steep learning curves for those who lack a formal background in graphic design. Firefly makes these advanced features easily accessible to all users.

Bottom line, Adobe ought to experience healthy levels of growth in the years ahead thanks to generative AI tech like Firefly. Firefly, and future iterations thereof, should help the company both retain current users and compete effectively across the spectrum of emerging markets within the ever-expanding realm of digital content creation.

Arista is the market share and technology leader in high-speed networking. The company services both cloud and enterprise networking customers. Its ability to penetrate these high-value markets, and subsequently retain customers, can be attributed to its novel Extensible Operating System, or EOS.

EOS simplifies network management by utilizing a single operating system across hardware components -- switches, routers, etc. Additionally, Arista also sports industry-leading profit margins due to its focus on proprietary software solutions and the use of merchant silicon in its hardware.

Arista's shares presently trade at 27 times forward earnings. Any way you slice it, that's not exactly a bargain valuation. However, the march to integrate AI into daily life should be a boon for Arista's top and bottom lines in the years to come.

The key reason is that most AI-based computation systems fundamentally require high-speed networks, with little downtime, to function properly. Providing customers with the components to build reliable, high-speed networks is Arista's bread and butter. Hence, the company should be well-positioned to benefit from the gradual integration of AI into nearly every aspect of computing.

That being said, Arista's commercial opportunity stemming from computationally intensive AI workloads is hard to quantify at this early juncture. As such, prospective investors should probably view the gradual spread of AI as a long-term tailwind for the company, not a fundamental pillar of value creation.

George Budwell has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Adobe and Arista Networks. The Motley Fool recommends the following options: long January 2024 $420 calls on Adobe and short January 2024 $430 calls on Adobe. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

2 Top Artificial Intelligence Stocks to Buy Right Now - The Motley Fool

The advent of further innovations is driving the development of a new generation of robots, with skills that are constantly increasing. Although robots dont yet have the same capabilities and skills as human beings, there are now some examples of artificially intelligent robots that exemplify the breakthroughs in this area.

Smart robots have AI algorithms integrated into them, enabling them to work on their own after a previous phase of training or automatic learning. This technology is also known as machine learning, thanks to which the robot learns and reacts and is able to reason mechanically.

Although, generally speaking, robots dont have artificial intelligence, the robotics industry is gradually incorporating certain AI processes into them to increase their autonomy.

In 2016, engineer David Hanson developed the first robot with a brain made up of AI algorithms called Shopia. Thanks to this technology, a robot can have conversations with people and generate facial expressions.

Shopias brain is segmented into three configurations. Firstly, it has a platform to search for data and a system capable of processing them. It also has a speech system thats required to announce all the processed data. Finally, it incorporates a tool that analyses the environment, in order to adapt to the place where it works and issue a response appropriate to the processed context.

Shopia was created with the aim of helping specific sectors such as science, medicine and education. However, its current function is more recreational, as its used for talks and entertainment.

The advent of Shopia gave way to numerous robotic creations with AI, including:

AMECA

Developed by the Engineered Arts robotics company. This intelligent robot can move, converse and even express a wide range of emotions, ranging from happiness to anger. One of its most significant features is that it can make very realistic and emotionally charged facial gestures.

Its software is called Tritium and its made up of Artificial Intelligence algorithms capable of identifying behavioural patterns and making predictions. Although its designed with artificial limbs connected to the latest technology, its lower half is currently non-functional. For this reason it cant move autonomously.

Spot is a dog-like intelligent robot designed by the US Boston Dynamics company. After years of research, the company put it on sale in June 2020 in the USA for 74, 500 dollars.

Spots brain is made up of AI algorithms and its capable of working autonomously, detecting and even predicting problems and resolving highly complex questions. Its programmed to communicate seamlessly by using natural language. Thanks to the different technological integrations that it incorporates, it can analyse large amounts of information, thus providing additional security against accidents in logistical contexts.

Atlas, also created by Boston Dynamics, is regarded as the worlds most agile and coordinated intelligent robot. Its software gives it full control over its legs and arms, so it can run and jump over surfaces, a task impossible for humans.

It has four electronic limbs made of aluminium and titanium with which it can pick up and throw heavy objects. It can also dance, detect complex spaces, grasp things and keep its balance while carrying objects.

AInstein is an educational project created by secondary school students in Cyprus, with the aid of ChatGPT artificial intelligence. Its main aim is to improve the educational experience in classrooms, as it can interact with the students and teachers, tell jokes, try to speak different languages and offer advice on how to approach the teaching.

The students who worked on the development of AInstein decided to give it a very particular appearance, as it resembles the famous Michelin Man and its screen simulates a human face. These students have learnt to interact with technology in a collaborative manner and demonstrated that the arrival of intelligent robots in the classroom can bring important educational benefits.

PALM-E Google has developed this tool with AI programmed upon the basis of multimodal visual language. Its chiefly characterised by over 562,000 million parameters that integrate vision and automated language and it has an automated arm enabling it to generate action plans, a feature that sets it apart from the others.

The technological companys developers claim that PALM-E has advanced reasoning capabilities, giving it the ability to analyse the sequences of visual and audio information that it receives. In this respect, it makes predictions and gradually learns more and more about the different tasks assigned to it. Googles goal is to incorporate this intelligent robot into everyday contexts, including the industrial sector and home automation.
