‘Creating the Future of AI Celebrity’ launches at Web Asia (July 25-26)
SingularityNET, the world’s first decentralized AI network, founded by Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) leader Ben Goertzel, has today announced an exclusive collaboration with Ben Ditto, internationally renowned creative director of Yaya Labs. The partnership is designed to bring together the power of excellence in creativity and technological innovation, with an aim of driving the future of ‘AI celebrity’.
The premier of Creating the Future of AI Celebrity, which features SingularityNET’s own musical robot, Desdemona will formally launch at Japan's largest web3 event, WebX Asia, on July 25-26, a gathering of top international companies and investors, a fitting setting for the project, a 2-day event that showcases what AI can become.
Ben Ditto specializes in the execution of utopian concepts that embrace beauty and technology. He directs moving images, CGI, creative coding projects, augmented reality, print, and live experiences and has worked with the likes of Louis Vuitton, The 1975, Dazed Beauty, and Maison Margiela.
Ben Ditto states of the project, “Desdemona is an experiment in the future of celebrity. Our vision for Desdemona is to explore the edges of what it means to create personality using AI and robotics and to introduce these ideas to popular culture.”
SingularityNET’s musical robot, Desdemona, also known as “Desi” to her friends, is a humanoid robot created by master artist and roboticist David Hanson and his team at Hanson Robotics. Desi is the lead singer of the Desdemona’s Dream band and will be bringing her mission of making the world a better place through AI to the mainstage with SingularityNET’s COO, Janet Adams, and artist Ben Ditto in their talk Creating a Robot Personality for the Ethical AI Era.
Ben Ditto adds, “Desdemona is a musical entity. She will continuously evolve, and unlike human celebrities, she has no limitations whatsoever. She represents the full potential of AI-driven creativity and raises questions, participates in experiments, and, most importantly, is involved in the crafting of her own development.
Ultimately, Desdemona is a musical being, as music is the purest and most accessible art form. Production and consumption of music are accessible to all and music communicates emotions, narratives, questions, and answers in a way that can reach millions or even billions of people. It is a transcendent art form, and Desdemona is an experiment in embodied transcendence.”
WebX Asia 23’ will not only bring world-class web3 players to Japan but also Industry leaders and the largest developer event in Asia with over 30 universities and developer communities, making Tokyo the perfect place for such a collaboration to be publicly announced.
