It appears that Travis Scott isn’t too enthused about Artificial Intelligence, despite the rapper having a focus on innovation. 

During an interview with Rolling Stone, Scott, 34, touched on AI and how the technology could be rightfully used. 

“In specific ways, if used right, it could be helpful. I think it’s all about how it’s used,” Scott, born Jacques Bermon Webster II, said. “You got to challenge the designers and the creatives of the world. Instead of running from something, you got to become a leader in setting a platform and design landscape for it before it just gets too out of control.”

The Rodeo rapper also disclosed that he currently does not allow his children to use AI because he believes it would suppress their ability to learn. Scott and Kylie Jenner, 28, share a daughter named Stormi, 7, and a son named Aire, 3.

“My kids don’t have AI,” he said. “Having AI right now will compress their ability for their brain to maximize. So they got to learn the physical and the actual way of learning so then they know how to actually use AI to their best ability, because if it’s doing everything for you, how do you even know what’s right or wrong?”

Scott further touched on fatherhood and how it has opened a new life perspective for him. 

“You can’t crash out. You can’t do a lot of crazy sh*t like you would,” Scott said. “Man, my kids are just like me when it comes to trying to get off ideas. My son’s three now, about to be four. I took him to the Disney Imagineering spot, and his mind was just going off when he seen the robots and all the new tech and how it’s built.”
