In this episode, I sat down with will.i.am, Entrepreneur, Founder & CEO of FYI.AI, and celebrated music artist, to discuss the multifaceted world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on society and business. We delved into how AI is akin to a hammer – a tool that, in the right hands, can construct marvels, but if misused, can also lead to destruction. will.i.am shared insights from his early investments in AI, influenced by a professor at MIT and his time in Intel's futurist department. He reflected on overcoming resistance in his music career, viewing fear as an energy source that can be harnessed through hope. We ventured into a discussion about AI's capabilities and its potential to empower communities, highlighting the need for ethical business models and data ownership. will.i.am emphasized the importance of optimism, mentorship, and leveraging technology for positive change.
