AKB48, one of Japan’s most popular girl groups, has released a new single written in part by artificial intelligence after it won the fan vote in a televised contest.
The single, titled “Omoide Scroll”, emerged the winner in a competition pitting the group’s long‑time producer and lyricist Yasushi Akimoto against “AI Akimoto”, which was trained using Akimoto’s vocabulary, lyric patterns, and other stylistic markers using Google Gemini, according to the BBC.
