Pop star Howard Jones says he’s working with AI to create music after his death

As an artist ahead of his time, Howard Jones was the first to play the keyboard like a guitar, and wore his hair in a two-tone Mohican to get noticed. Now, 40 years after he brought synth-pop to the 1980s, he is pushing the boundaries again.

The 68-year-old singer, who had six UK Top 10 hits at the height of his fame, is having an AI version of his voice made so he can create choirs of himself, and keep singing even if he loses his voice – or perhaps even after he is gone. The technology may have been causing more concern than excitement, but Howard says he is embracing it, albeit with some precautions.

He says: “I still try to keep up with new technology, but this is the thing I’m very excited about. My friend, BT, who is an American electronic artist, is making the AI version of my voice. I’ll be able to use it in the studio to create choirs and different extensions of the voice, I can’t wait to use that.”

He admits it could keep him singing after age affects his voice, but says: “It isn’t primarily for longevity. If you lose your voice, or in the studio you need to fill in a part that’s in your head you can call on the AI version.”

The singer enjoyed fame in the 80s (

But he concedes there is a “worrying side” to AI. He says: “We’re trying to make sure the sound of my AI voice is protected. It will have stuff embedded in it so if someone gets hold of it they can’t use it without permission. I don’t think AI can come up with original things.

“It can copy and mix things from the…

Incomplete Justice: The Case of a Unani Doctor Who Lost His Job to a Fraudster

Incomplete Justice: The Case of a Unami Doctor Who Lost His Job to a Fraudster

Recently, the Crime Branch of Jammu & Kashmir Police produced a charge sheet against a Ganderbal resident who had obtained a fake class 12th  marks certificate to get admission in Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery or the BUMS course. This degree paved a way for him to get a job in the Health Department of J&K Government under the centrally sponsored scheme National Health Mission-NHM. Infact, this fake Unani Doctor has already been dismissed from service by the Government. 

However, only incomplete justice has been done in this case. The case is far from settled as the aggrieved Unani doctor who was supposed to get this job hasn’t gotten it even after 10 years have passed already. Dr Zaffar Shaheen, a qualified BUMS graduate, who was eligible to get a job under RBSK programme in district Ganderbal was bypassed by the district level selection committee and a candidate who hadn’t even passed his class 12th and had furnished fake documents was given this job. 

The aggrieved Unani doctor Zaffar Shaheen didn’t surrender to the decision. He fought for justice until the fake BUMS doctor was finally exposed.

Background

After the selection process by the district level selection committee headed by Deputy Commissioner Ganderbal, one Shahid Ul Islam, a resident of Preng Ganderbal was appointed to the aforementioned position.  The then Chief Medical Officer-CMO  Ganderbal under the order No. 08 DRSHG of 2014 dated 20-01-2014  issued orders…

Mohegan: “Along with cashless and digital gaming, AI will be another area that will garner a lot of attention over the next year”

Gaming and hospitality firm Mohegan went through several major developments in 2023, among them the first step towards Asian expansion by soft-launching its INSPIRE resort in South Korea in November. However, the company is also working towards growth opportunities elsewhere, including the digital gaming segment, where Mohegan is seeking to secure a premier position by leveraging the latest technological advancements.
