Ep69. A.I. & Hip Hop: Meet Kaila Love, Your “A.I. Homegirl” and Rapper Empowering Independent Artists with A.I. Automation and NFTs

Kaila Love is a Hip Hop artist, entrepreneur, and A.I. automation specialist who has been breaking barriers since she started rapping at age 14. Born and raised in the Bay Area by her great-grandmother, Kaila used music as a vehicle to overcome challenges, becoming the first in her family to graduate college when she received her Bachelor's in Political Science from UC Berkeley. As an early adopter of blockchain technology, Kaila has been investing in crypto since 2017. In March 2021, she made history as one of the first female rappers to sell her music as an NFT. This pioneering move led her to author the book "NFTs for Music," establishing her as a thought leader at the intersection of music and emerging technology. I met Kaila at MidwestCon after her keynote presentation titled "Rhythm and Bytes," and you're in for a treat today as we dive into her go-getter and innovative mind. She's a forward-thinker who's vocal about the potential of A.I. to revolutionize the music industry and propel artists beyond streaming into new opportunities to connect with and provide experiences to their fans. In our conversation, you'll hear Kaila's journey from creating her first A.I. bot to developing A.I. education programs to empower musicians. We explore her views on the future of music NFTs, the ethical considerations of A.I. in creative industries, and her vision for new revenue models that benefit artists in the A.I. era. From hip-hop to high-tech, join us as Kaila shares her passion for music, technology, and humanity, all the while maintaining her roots as the "A.I. Homegirl"!   EPISODE SHOW NOTES: https://creativitysquared.com/podcast/ep69-kaila-love-a-i-hip-hop/ JOIN CREATIVITY SQUARED Sign up for our free weekly newsletter: https://creativitysquared.com/newsletter  Become a premium member: https://creativitysquared.com/supporters  SUBSCRIBE Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform: https://creativitysquared.com Subscribe for more videos: https://youtube.com/@creativity_squared/?sub_confirmation=1 CONNECT with C^2 https://instagram.com/creativitysquaredpodcast https://facebook.com/CreativitySquaredPodcast https://giphy.com/channel/CreativitySquared https://tumblr.com/blog/creativitysquared https://tiktok.com/@creativitysquaredpodcast #CreativitySquared CONNECT with Helen Todd, the human behind C^2 https://instagram.com/helenstravels https://twitter.com/helenstravels https://linkedin.com/in/helentodd https://pinterest.com/helentodd Creativity Squared explores how creatives are collaborating with artificial intelligence in your inbox, on YouTube, and on your preferred podcast platform.  Because it’s important to support artists, 10% of all revenue Creativity Squared generates will go to ArtsWave, a nationally recognized non-profit that supports over 100 arts organizations.
