Will.i.am last performed in Montreal in 2010 but he’s planning to be back a lot more often now. In a board room.
The Black Eyed Peas co-founder appeared in the city Thursday alongside executives of Stradigi AI, a company he invested an undisclosed amount in and that appointed him as adviser on ethics and bias. The seven-time Grammy winner, who has an AI-focused tech company of his own, i.am+, said he was impressed with Stradigi’s work on image recognition and fraud detection when the team first visited him in Los Angeles.
