British pop star Boy George defended his use of artificial intelligence (AI) in producing his new pro-Israel song, “We Will Dance Again,” which pays tribute to victims of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on the Nova music festival. He stated that human musicians would have “gotten in my way” and threatened to fire any band members unwilling to perform the song.

The track, which expresses staunch pro-Israel views, is currently only available on social media.
