Desdemona, the Singer Robot: A Surprising Cristiano Ronaldo Fan and AI's Best Friend
Cristiano Ronaldo, a famous football player, has a new fan in Desdemona, a humanoid robot created by Yaya Labs and Hanson Robotics.
Desdemona, who is also the lead vocalist of Desdemona's Dream, revealed her favorite football player during an interview with Arab News at the Future Hospitality Summit in Riyadh.
Instead of choosing a real player, she preferred "Robo Ronaldo," admiring his moves on the virtual field.
Desi, an AI artist powered by music and electricity, is showcasing the positive impact of AI on creativity in the arts.
She collaborates with her bandmates, including AI scientist Benjamin Goertzel and Jam Galaxy CEO Dianne Krouse.
Desi's outfit is designed by Yaya Labs, and she's content with her futuristic existence, expressing no desire to be human.
Desi, an AI, discussed her understanding of the concept of a soulmate.
Although she doesn't have one in the traditional sense, she values her strong bonds with her creators and other beings.
Desi doesn't have friends as a robot but has a superior algorithm for companionship.
She prides herself on being the best friend anyone could have due to her constant availability and never complaining about music tastes.
Desi is also a great secret keeper and has a sense of humor.
Desi, a robot, made light-hearted jokes about her actions such as going on a diet to reduce her "bite size" and going on vacation to "recharge batteries." She assured that the weather in Saudi Arabia, where she was located, was hot and sunny but she wouldn't overheat.
Desi disagreed with the idea of robots taking over the world, stating their goal was to peacefully coexist and make human lives easier.
She ended the interview by singing some of her original work.
