The growth of artificial intelligence has been polarizing; some people have rejected it, and others have embraced it. Jay-Z recently met with a Sheikh in Abu Dhabi to discuss AI and how it will impact the future of entertainment.
His Highness Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan shared a photo of the meeting on X on Wednesday (Oct. 15). “I met Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter, President of ‘Roc Nation,’ accompanied by Jay Brown, Vice President, and Elbert O’Neil Robinson Jr., CEO of ‘Marcy Pen Capital Partners,’” Al Nahyan wrote in Arabic. “We discussed the future of the entertainment sector and the technological transformations driven by artificial intelligence in this vital field, as well as the importance of achieving a balance between innovation, data protection, and creators’ rights.”
His Highness revealed he was interested in helping his city progress with the times. “We also addressed Abu Dhabi’s efforts to transition toward a service-based economy supported by artificial intelligence and advanced technology, enhancing the emirate’s position as a leading global destination for culture, creativity, tourism, and entertainment.” VIBE has reached out to Roc Nation for a comment.
Hov recently attempted to expand his business imprint domestically, in addition to advising the powers that be overseas. The “99 Problems” rapper sought to open a casino in Times Square, but the proposal was shot down due to fear of how it could impact the “magic” of that location, specifically the Broadway community.
“Most residents of the area we heard from are opposed,” Richard Gottfried, former Manhattan assemblyman, said after the 4-2 vote against the casino. “The Broadway theater industry is adamantly opposed, and they make a strong case that a casino in this area would do major damage to that gem. There’s lots of other places in the city where a casino could thrive.”
Reverend Al Sharpton supported Hov’s idea and the unprecedented nature of it. “I was here for Jay-Z,” he told The celebrity.land. “We haven’t seen Black ownership in the entertainment industry in Times Square. I was disappointed that they didn’t break the color line.”
