Music icon and tech innovator will.i.am has unveiled a new platform that reimagines radio for the digital age, injecting artificial intelligence into the traditional radio format.
Developed by will.i.am’s creative technology company FYI, RAiDiO.FYI goes beyond traditional radio by offering an interactive and conversational experience. Unlike streaming services with AI DJs or playlists, RAiDiO.FYI offers a two-way dialogue between listeners and the platform’s AI personas.
AI personas act as personalized news curators, gathering and delivering the information that users want in real time. Users can choose from a variety of AI personalities, each with a distinct voice reflecting different cultures, from the vibrant streets of South Los Angeles to the underground scenes of East London and beyond.
