Say you’re the world’s largest chip maker, with access to some of the greatest minds in the computer science industry. Who would you be eyeing to become the latest addition to your team? How about that one guy from the Black Eyed Peas. What manner of experience does he have? Well, he appeared as a hologram on CNN during the last presidential election. That was pretty neat, right?
Intel has chosen will.i.am (also known as William James Adams, Jr. to those who frequent his Wikipedia page) for the made up title of “director of creative innovation.” But wait, before you go saying that this is obviously just some title that Intel made up to get some publicity during an otherwise slow news week (how dare you?), the company insists that rapper will be an intricate part of its “compute continuum.”
will.i.am, naturally, is also pretty psyched,
Nearly everything I do involves processors and computers, and when I see an Intel chip I think of all the creative minds involved that help to amplify my own creativity. Teaming up with the scientists, researchers and computer programmers at Intel to collaborate and co-develop new ways to communicate, create, inform and entertain is going to be amazing
In the meantime, will.i.am has a Superbowl Halftime Show to perform at.
