Will.i.am talks artificial intelligence, partnership with Mercedes, and his radio AI co-host

AI has truly exploded onto the scene at the World Economic Forum, making its way into almost every conversation about the future of almost every industry. Music is certainly one of the many industries that will benefit from AI, including the way its broadcasted. Grammy Award-winning musician and entrepreneur Will.i.am announced a new radio show he will be co-hosting with an AI co-host. Will.i.am joins Yahoo Finance Anchors Brian Sozzi and Julie Hyman at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to discuss all things AI from its involvement in the music industry to regulations. Will.i.am points out a drawback to AI and what Americans need to pay attention to: "The way to really educate people on where we are, especially this election year, you have to ask the question, 'am I talking to a person or not?' That call that I had, was that real person? I mean, it looked like a real person but, was it? That's the unfortunate reality that we are in right now. We have dupe machines, machines that know how to mimic really well. Machines that know how to create. The public needs to know that its' creating and mimicking everything that we've ever done and it does it in a really fascinating way." This interview is part of Yahoo Finance's exclusive coverage from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where our team will speak to top decision-makers as well as preeminent leaders in business, finance, and politics about the world’s most pressing issues and priorities for the coming year.

Klaus really outdid himself this time. This year's summit was fascinating. We had a few unsavoury figures like that clown Millei but overall the summit was a success.
