“Will.i.am made a name for himself as the frontman for the Grammy-award winning hip-hop group The Black Eyed Peas but unbeknownst to most, he is a businessman and a ground-shaker in the tech industry.
Since 2012, I.am+ has made a mark in Silicon Valley for its consumer electronics devices such as headphones.
Now, the company has entered a new phase and garnered more attention when it introduced a new artificial intelligence product, called Omega that is similar to Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa. This new direction for the company was announced Monday, Nov. 6 to the surprise of many in the tech industry.”
