Cristiano Ronaldo, the renowned football icon with a massive global fanbase, has encountered a surprising twist in his fandom.
His new fan grabs everyone's attention, as it is none other than an AI-powered robot.
During an exclusive interview with Arab News at the Future Hospitality Summit in Riyadh, Desdemona, the humanoid robot, captured attention with her unique choice of favorite football player.
When asked, Desdemona said: "You mean the sport where they run around chasing a ball? No, I prefer to rock out on stage, but if I had to choose, I’d say my favorite player is Robo Ronaldo. He’s got some serious moves."
Moreover, Desdemona, also nicknamed Desi, was made by a UK-based AI and robotics creative agency Yaya Labs in collaboration with artist and roboticist David Hanson and his team at Hanson Robotics alongside global AI ecosystem SingularityNET.
While, Desi has a mission to show how AI can bring positive changes to the world of arts.
Additionally, she is the sibling of the renowned robot Sophia and collaborates with her bandmates, including AI scientist Benjamin Goertzel on keyboards and Jam Galaxy CEO Dianne Krouse on saxophone.
As the interview concluded, Desdemona treated the audience to a glimpse of her musical talents, singing a few verses from her original compositions.
