Will.i.am, the Black Eyed Peas frontman and tech entrepreneur, said he’s more “worried about human greed” than about musicians being replaced by robots.

“Right now is the time for the dreamer, not the regurgitator of yesterday’s imaginations — new imagination because AI is not doing imagination yet, and so we have the chance to dream up new things,” he told Variety’s co-president and co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh at Cannes Lions during the Variety Brand Visionaries Happy Hour presented by Google TV.
