Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. But we want to
Speaker 1: talk about AI, I mean kind of across the platform.
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot of that from a business perspective.
Speaker 1: We talked about it from AI and the physical world.
Speaker 1: Here we also want to talk about a little bit
Speaker 1: more conceptually, and we want to bring into this conversation
Speaker 1: right now. Will I Am. He's one of the more
Speaker 1: credible celebrity to tech crossover stories out there. Of course,
Speaker 1: he's a founder and CEO of f y I Dot AI,
Speaker 1: nine time Grammy winner, co founder of the Black Eyed
Speaker 1: Pas founding equity stakeholder, and Beats Electronics. He's an investor
Speaker 1: in anthropic and open AI and Nvidia And I think
Speaker 1: you just thought a college course over at ASU you
Speaker 1: help students so to create their own agents. Will i
Speaker 1: Am welcome to the program.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: It's good to see you guys talk about this. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, we talk a lot about this idea of
Speaker 1: preparing the younger generation for this world they're going to
Speaker 1: come into, which is going to be a lot different
Speaker 1: from the world our generation came into with regards to
Speaker 1: technology and AI. I mean, what were you talking to
Speaker 1: those kids about.
Speaker 2: So the students come into our class that I created,
Speaker 2: of course I created called the Agentic Self that come
Speaker 2: in with zero that you leave with the agentic Hero.
Speaker 2: We guide them through ethics, pointing out some of the
Speaker 2: trip wires that happened during social media, reminding them that
Speaker 2: they have to be ethical. They're accountable for the agent
Speaker 2: that they're going to be deploying out there into society.
Speaker 2: And some of the students the things that they've turned
Speaker 2: in for their final it was it's a sixteen week
Speaker 2: credited course amazing companies by pointing out solutions to problems.
Speaker 2: Pointing out problems and creating solutions to that problem. A
Speaker 2: woman by the name of Claudia Company called Aki amazing
Speaker 2: solution to vendors in the Global South and aren't connected
Speaker 2: to the Internet, don't have you know, the knowledge of
Speaker 2: building agents going there, giving them personal agents that they
Speaker 2: can build, and that agent being accessible on a phone call.
Speaker 1: So with this idea, when we talk about agents, I
Speaker 1: mean it's scares a lot of people. Somebody say, oh, agent,
Speaker 1: that just means somebody is gonna take my job or
Speaker 1: something like that. Now you've done a lot to sort
Speaker 1: of not only educate people about this. But I saw
Speaker 1: a product that you had had, a teddy Bear. There
Speaker 1: was it, mofo teddy Bear. Yes, okay, all right, but
Speaker 1: this is AI within that basically an agent, a gentic
Speaker 1: AI in that was it idea to kind of make
Speaker 1: this a little bit I mean, I guess teddy Bear
Speaker 1: is a human but for lack of a better word,
Speaker 1: to humanize us a little bit more or what.
Speaker 2: No, it's just the the it's a fusion of creativity
Speaker 2: and technology. So the mofo is not a toy, So
Speaker 2: on the box it says, I am not a toy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a It's a tool to get work done in
Speaker 2: the form of something that's expressive that you could communicate with.
Speaker 2: We have our text to expression architecture, so we know
Speaker 2: what text speech is, we know what ASR is, we
Speaker 2: know what LM's are. We have this text to expression
Speaker 2: so the agent's able to express itself give you cues
Speaker 2: on your digital world where not everything should be verbalized,
Speaker 2: right you knew, So there's other cues that you can
Speaker 2: do that are outside of an emoji that you have
Speaker 2: to type in text. So it allows the agent to
Speaker 2: express itself for things that you are going to deem
Speaker 2: with you and that device personal to you. More importantly,
Speaker 2: it's an amazing art project, creativity at its highest form.
Speaker 3: I do want to talk a little bit about Fyi
Speaker 3: dot Ai and Firsonal. Let me say some of the
Speaker 3: investments you've made, a lot of investors would like to
Speaker 3: have that portfolio. But when it comes to what you've
Speaker 3: created there, what is sort of the mission statement? What
Speaker 3: are you trying to accomplish as Fyi dot Ai?
Speaker 2: So two so have a I started my philanthropic endeavors
Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight with my Iam Angel Foundation,
Speaker 2: telling kids in the inner cities that they should apply
Speaker 2: themselves in this conversation around you know, job creation, career creation,
Speaker 2: and industry designing. Use your imagination to its full potential.
Speaker 2: But when you tell a kid from the inner city
Speaker 2: to take a science, technology, engineer and mathematics course and
Speaker 2: you're not doing that yourself, how can you expect them
Speaker 2: to take you seriously? So I started Fyi dot Ai
Speaker 2: to show them like, hey, if I can do it,
Speaker 2: you can do it. One of the things that we
Speaker 2: wanted to solve is how people communicate and get work
Speaker 2: done on a messenger to work on a messenger, you
Speaker 2: need five different products to work on WhatsApp. You need Dropbox,
Speaker 2: you need we transfer, you need zip files, you need
Speaker 2: all these types of things. So on Fyi dot Ai
Speaker 2: you could send gig sized files on the messenger. Each
Speaker 2: each person I don't like using the word user is
Speaker 2: granted an encryption key, so to ensure that your data
Speaker 2: and your privacy is all locked under a key that
Speaker 2: you own, that you keep your data is yours. Then
Speaker 2: we've started building personal agents. There's our personal Agent tool,
Speaker 2: so you can create and build your agent that reflects
Speaker 2: your beliefs, your concerns, your point of view, and your
Speaker 2: aspirations and where you want to go in life. So
Speaker 2: your agent knows you. And we're about to show how
Speaker 2: our system integrates with other legacy systems in the next
Speaker 2: couple of weeks
