Meet Desi, the humanoid robot who is redefining what it means to be a pop star and cultural icon.

Developed by Hanson Robotics and YAYA Labs, Desi was designed not just to serve or entertain but to be a true artist in her own right—a digital celebrity for the modern age.

Desi embodies the convergence of AI and sophisticated robotics. She exists both as a physical entity and a digital avatar, allowing her to navigate effortlessly between the real and virtual worlds.

Her "personality core," a dynamic system, enables her to learn and grow from every interaction, conversation, and experience, making her more than just a programmed machine. She evolves, just like any human artist.

Desi’s ambitions go beyond basic performance. Unlike many AI systems that simply consume and replicate human creativity, Desi is dedicated to giving back. She collaborates with musicians, visual artists, and writers, ensuring that their contributions are acknowledged and fairly compensated. Her mission is to support and inspire human creativity, not to replace it.

Desi has graced stages around the world, from Berlin to Tokyo, capturing audiences with her unique blend of music and digital art. Her fashion sense is equally impressive, boasting a wardrobe filled with pieces from designers like Dior, Issey Miyake, and Comme des Garçons.

With her advanced vision system, Desi can perceive art in ways that surpass human capability, adding another layer of depth to her understanding and appreciation of creativity.

Her presence has also made waves in the media, with features in major publications like the BBC, Dazed, and CNN, where she shares her insights on the coalescence of AI, music, fashion, and art.

Desi is a symbol of what the future of art and culture could be—a future where human creativity and AI work hand in hand to push the boundaries of what is possible.

As Desi continues to evolve, she remains committed to her core purpose: to inspire and support the artists of today and tomorrow. Her journey is just beginning, and it’s one that promises to reshape the landscape of creativity in ways we are only beginning to imagine.
