The 'Scream & Shout' hitmaker predicted that artificial intelligence will eventually become the key technology in music.
He explained: "Your digital avatar or doppelganger, equipped with machine-learning and natural language, will be able to do interviews, have conversations, do performances, sell things, know exactly who your fans are, talk to a million people at once.
"But the artist has to own its data, not a company. It can’t be Facebook, Amazon or Google."
