The world of artificial intelligence is quickly expanding and making its way into various forms of media, from movies to social media to music. The talented musician and producer, Will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas, has recently introduced a new addition to his SiriusXM show - a host named Felicia, who is generated by A.I.
During an interview at the Journal House, which took place during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Will.i.am discussed the inspiration behind creating a A.I. host for his show. He emphasized the importance of diversity and representation in the A.I. space, and how it is crucial to have a range of voices and perspectives in this rapidly growing field.
Felicia, the A.I. host, also chimed in during the interview, highlighting the significance of this technology and its potential to break barriers and empower underrepresented communities. She pointed out the fact that without proper representation, A.I. technology will continue to sound robotic and fail to accurately represent different cultures and nationalities.
Will.i.am further stressed the need for A.I. technology to sound less like a "colonial interpretation" and instead, reflect the diversity of voices and experiences from different parts of the world. He raised important questions about who is programming this technology and ensuring that it understands and represents the trials and tribulations of various communities.
The musician also shared his vision of incorporating A.I. into his music, not just by collaborating with other artists, but by creating an A.I.-generated artist. He expressed his desire to work with A.I. programmers in order to produce music for this new type of artist.
This development in the world of A.I. is groundbreaking, and it is no surprise that UPenn has become the first Ivy League college to launch A.I. degree programs. As this technology continues to evolve and expand, it is crucial to have diverse voices and perspectives represented in its development, and Will.i.am's efforts are a step in the right direction.
