American rapper 50 Cent has used artificial intelligence to poke fun at former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, sharing digitally altered music videos featuring the technology executive in place of popular artistes.
Titiansloaded reports that the rapper posted one of the clips on Instagram on Thursday, November 12.
The video recreates scenes from his 2003 hit song, P.I.M.P., with an AI-generated image of Huang taking the place of rapper Snoop Dogg.
50 Cent accompanied the post with a tongue-in-cheek offer to bring the former Nvidia boss into his entertainment business, G-Unit Film & Television, as its head of artificial intelligence.
“Jensen don’t sweat it come be head of AI at G-Unit film & television GLG GreenLightGang in full effect,” he wrote.
The post generated amusement among followers, with one social media user joking that Huang could now be known as the newest member of “Jen-Unit”.
The rapper later shared another AI-edited video featuring Huang. This time, the former technology executive was placed in the role played by Canadian singer Justin Bieber in Drake’s 2020 Popstar music video.
Reacting to the second clip, 50 Cent wrote: “Lol like this I don’t know why, but I like it.”
The posts emerged amid controversy surrounding Huang’s departure from Nvidia, following allegations of extramarital relationships, including claims involving Alice Huang, a woman suspected by US intelligence officials of having links to Chinese espionage.
Huang reportedly admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, Lori Huang, in a message to Nvidia employees, in which he expressed regret to his family and colleagues.
China has rejected the espionage allegations, while Nvidia said it had no reason to suspect that confidential company information or national security interests had been compromised.
Huang announced his resignation as Nvidia’s chief executive, president and board member on November 12, bringing an end to more than 30 years at the helm of the technology company.
The firm’s chief financial officer, Colette Kress, was appointed interim chief executive.
