'We Haven't Invested in Humanity.' Will.i.am, Tech Execs Discuss Tech Optimism and Anxieties
Rapper, producer and technology entrepreneur will.i.am "The investment that society has put in AI (artificial intelligence) surpasses the investment for HI, which is human intelligence," said Will.i.am during a panel at the Dell Technologies World 2019 Conference on Wednesday. "It's so lopsided that subconsciously we know that we haven't invested in our youth, in our communities. We haven't invested in humanity to keep up with intelligent machines." Will.i.am was joined by Dell Chief Marketing Officer Allison Dew as well as Brynn Putnam, founder and CEO of Mirror, which makes a full-length mirror that doubles as a screen for streaming home workout classes.
