will.i.am doesn’t think real artists should worry about artificial intelligence.
“The only thing you have to worry about is if you’re making music to follow an algorithm,” he told Fox News Digital. “If you’re creating trending music on TikTok. And to do that, you really need to unlock the codes in this matrix. If that’s all your work, then AI will do a better job than that.”
The Black Eyed Peas singer believes people who aren’t involved in the creative process in the music industry are the ones who should be worried about AI taking away their jobs.

“The people at risk from AI in the music (industry) are managers, label executives, financial auditors, lawyers. If you look at the money that is being invested to make these systems more advanced, “Microsoft gives you a co-pilot (the company’s AI assistant) and there’s no slowing down how awesome this will be in version eight of 2025 and it will be used for all types of industries,” he said. declared.
“There isn’t an army or fleet of AI music that does everything at the level of co-pilots or sales force agents. So musicians and hyper-creatives are fine. We’re going to use AI, reinvent and create a whole new industry because of it.”
He added: “Right now, AI does a good job with everything we’ve created and can imitate it. But AI doesn’t create things that don’t exist. We do that. We created AI, so AI is a mirror.” . It shows you exactly what’s ahead.

They are now launching “CONVOS,” a content series featuring artists and creatives having one-on-one conversations with the AI persona in the FYI.AI app.

In the new “CONVOS” series, artists like Hit Boy have a one-on-one conversation with FYI.AI, demonstrating his abilities. (For information.AI)

“(I thought) what if there was a way to have a different type of performance based on conversation? And then after the conversation, the director, the artist, the creative person starts, creates poetry or a song. Because that’s really what a song or some creative effort is about. It’s about that process of discovery,” he said.

“There’s a lot that happens when you talk to yourself. But this is like a different version of that,” he said. “You’re not talking to yourself, but you’re talking to some sort of board, joke board or mirror that is able to give you a real-time reflection without having to be weird about speaking out loud.”
