Among other things, two-time Grammy nominee Selena Gomez admitted she’s “terrified” of artificial intelligence during her speech on Tuesday at the first Music + Health Conference, presented by Thrive Global and the Universal Music Group.
The 31-year-old “Texican” pop singer joined Thrive Global CEO Arianna Huffington and Sir Lucian Grainge of Universal Music Group onstage at the 1 Hotel West Hollywood, looking dapper in a Barbie-pink wool Giuseppe Di Morabito jumpsuit.
Under the $1,100 ‘Single-Breasted Oversized’ jacket, $680 ‘Wide’ slacks, $109 Betsey Johnson ‘Kimara Black Multi’ heels and Tiffany & Co. jewellery chosen by stylist Erin Walsh, Selena showed off a glimpse of cleavage.
Gomez’s raven faux-nytail was styled by hairstylist Marissa Marino, while Melissa Murdick, a makeup artist, contoured her skin perfectly for the occasion.
The singer of the song “Single Soon,” who has 649.5 million Instagram followers, made sure to post a selfie of herself driving to the event, although she claimed she “never really cared” about becoming the most followed celebrity on the platform.
Selena shrugged and said, “I guess I’m thankful for the platform, and I would love to continue using it for what I’m able to do, but numbers are just numbers,” as reported by THR.
It could be a touch heavy. To be honest, I believe that my empathy for other people helps to keep me in control. I believe that sometimes I might be a little impulsive when it comes to my feelings and talking to young people or women who are going through chemotherapy or divorce. I know that it’s not all about me. I will simply always treasure it. Still, it’s a huge duty. It’s a little unsettling.
Concerning the notion that artificial intelligence (AI) will take the place of authors and performers, Gomez stated that no one working in her industry “wants to feel like they need to lean on a computer in order to translate their story or what they’re trying to say.”
The founder of Rare Beauty said, “I don’t think you could ever replace what a human being can write, but the whole AI thing terrifies me.”
Little Wayne said it so beautifully when he remarked that no other human is exactly like you. And it ought to be that only.
The 40-year-old Grammy-winning rapper that Selena was talking to stated to Billboard earlier this month: “They were trying to tell me that AI could make a voice that sounds just like me.” But since I’m so great, it’s not me.
Presently, Gomez executive produces and stars in the 10-episode third season of Only Murders in the Building, which Steve Martin and John Hoffman are producing. The show airs on Tuesdays on Hulu, and stars as true-crime podcaster Mabel Mora.
