It’s no secret; artificial intelligence is quickly taking the world by storm. Everywhere you turn AI tools like ChatGPT is making headlines for yet another breakthrough innovation.
In recent years, Hollywood A-listers have been lining up to get a piece of the next up-and-coming AI startup. From Ashton Kutcher and Elton John to Jay-Z and Leonardo Di Caprio; LA’s most in-the-know celebrity investors are showing AI has no signs of slowing down.
However, some, including billionaire Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink founder Elon Musk, have drafted open letters calling for a pause on AI development highlighting its potential threats to humankind.
Seeming unscathed by such warnings, NBC and Amazon producer turned tech entrepreneur Eric Leopardi has teamed up with crypto and NFT mastermind Kale Abrahamson as the latest Hollywood business duo to enter the AI space.
Kale Abrahamson is among the few visionary entrepreneurs who capitalized big on the crypto and NFT craze. How big, you may ask? He raked in a whopping $9 Million on his last NFT release in a mere 52 minutes. With that kind of success, you can say he’s got his finger on the pulse of the tech world.
After developing and launching his latest brainchild, MyMood AI, Abrahamson turned to Leopardi to help define the future of the company. Together, the two are showing plans to take their AI innovations far beyond avatars and content and into the public markets.
In an interview, Leopardi announced a major step in their path toward AI dominance. “This week, under Kale’s leadership, we acquired EV battery manufacturer JB & ZJMY Holding Company (OTC: JBZY).” Presumably, the now-controlling shareholder will vote to merge the two companies into the nation’s newest publicly traded AI company.
When asked about plans for the future, Leopardi said, “We have ambitious goals for this year as well as a number of new products in development. Kale and I are the same. We want to get things done right but at lightning speed”. He teased, “We’re also in deep discussions on other fairly major acquisitions. Stay tuned for that!”
The company’s MyMood Ai app is a leading AI photo editor that produces stunning, life-like, mood-driven AI avatars based on just a few selfies. In seconds, driven by cutting-edge proprietary AI technology, users are transformed into navy seals, cowboys, astronauts, and a host of other AI-driven scenarios creating stunning 4K custom avatars.
