Artificial intelligence is spurring the creation of industries not yet conceived. A striking example is how the music industry evolved as it was shaped by new technologies. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the word from music artist and AI proponent will.i.am, speaking at the recent AI for Good Summit in Geneva, Switzerland. Will.i.am is a goodwill ambassador to the AI for Good Skills Coalition, a global initiative led by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations agency for digital technologies, to promote learning and development of AI skills across the globe, especially among schoolchildren in distressed regions. Along with ITU, the AI for Good Summit was also supported by the International Electrotechnical Commission (EIC). <\/p>\n

The acronym LLM should stand for \u201clive with love mechanism,\u201d will.i.am urged in a press conference at the AI for Good event. \u201cWhich \u2018ism\u2019 does AI align with?

For instance, when it comes to AI being seen as a threat to creative talent in music and the arts, it points to a \u201cstorytelling problem,\u201d he said. \u201cThe people that are building the models are researchers who went to school, but didn\u2019t learn about the arts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking back over the history of technology-driven innovation, \u201cThomas Edison collaborated with not only technologists, but the arts,\u201d he pointed out. The development of vinyl records created a whole new art industry. The Grammy is a gramophone, the original hardware.”<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s AI technology is phenomenal, \u201cand in a way, the developers are too \u2013 they are…<\/p>\n
