The Beatles have been nominated for two Grammys nearly 50 years after the band officially split up. Their final song, called Now and Then, was restored last year with the help of AI, and is now up for record of the year alongside the likes of Beyonc, Charlie XCX, Billie Eilish, and Taylor Swift. Its also been nominated for best rock performance, where it goes up against Green Day, Pearl Jam, and The Black Keys.Released in November 2023, Now and Then started as a demo recorded by John Lennon in the late 1970s. This recording, as well as Free As A Bird and Real Love, was given to Lennons three surviving bandmates in the 90s, with the hopes of including it in The Beatles Anthology project.However, Now and Then was never released, as technology at the time couldnt separate Johns vocals and piano to get a clear sound. But in 2021, filmmaker Peter Jackson and his sound team were able to separate the instrumentals and vocals with machine learning technology, allowing Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to finally complete the song.Though Now and Then was finished using machine learning, it still falls within the bounds of The Grammys rules surrounding AI. The guidelines currently state that only human creators are eligible to be submitted for consideration for, nominated for, or win a GRAMMY Award, but work that contains elements of AI material is eligible in applicable categories.Its a bit strange to see Now and Then competing with modern-day music like Beyoncs Texas Hold Em, but its been a long time coming. Well get to see how the Beatles fare during the 2025 Grammy Awards, which takes place on Sunday, February 2nd.
