Description
**Take a bite:** In line with _Esquire Singapore_'s April 'Artificial Intelligence' issue—an industry-first that enlisted the help of an AI bot to help write and curate stories for the magazine—we discuss the influence and impact of AI on the future of work with Jason Sosa, founder of Blackbox Foundation; a consortium that helps distribute work powered by AI and trust on the blockchain.  We start the podcast with the hosts discussing Warner Music's recent move to sign a record contract with an algorithm (created by audio start-up Endel) as well as Singapore's Textile and Fashion Federation's (TaFF) newest incubator program to bring together people from fashion and technology.  Before closing, Norman read out select extracts from the _Esquire_ April issue for Jason and Debra to guess which passages were written by a human writer, and which were written by the AI writer. **00:00—Introduction** Our regular hosts Debra Langley (fashion and tech consultant) and Norman Tan (editor-in-chief of Esquire Singapore) share what they've been up to since the last podcast. **03:06—"Coffee Catch Up"** The hosts discuss Warner Music's recent 'signing' of Endel—the audio startup that has created AI-powered algorithms to make music—and [TaFF's new 30-week incubator program](http://www.taff.org.sg/) to connect the fashion and technology industry. **10:32—"Fresh off the grill"**  Feature segment with a new guest each podcast.
