TOKYO and BEIJING, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In an unprecedented fusion of technology and artistry, renowned Chinese-Canadian Singer and Actress Kelly Yu has teamed up with CreateAI (OTCMKTS: TSPH) (“CreateAI” or the “Company”), a global artificial intelligence company, to produce a revolutionary music video for her new single “Werewolf.” The partnership signifies the first time a music video by a major recording artist has been created from concept to completion employing generative AI.

The collaboration also highlights the power of the combined efforts of human directors, production artists, and a cutting-edge generative AI model, bringing Ms. Yu’s creative vision to life in a way never seen before. Through leveraging CreateAI’s model, the creative team seamlessly integrated human drawn key-frames and direction with AI-generated videos, resulting in fine detail and nuance perfectly buttressing the song’s emotional depth and complexity.

Kelly Yu said, “I’m thrilled to be at the forefront of this groundbreaking project. Collaborating with CreateAI has allowed us to really push the boundaries of what’s possible in music video production while also capturing the vision I’ve been wanting to present for quite some time.

This music video is a perfect example of how generative AI can enhance human creativity and produce something unique and captivating.”

The “Werewolf” music video will be distributed across major music streaming platforms, making it accessible to a global audience.

Celebrating the 4th anniversary of the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), this year’s Summit is poised to surpass the unforgettable 3rd-anniversary event, uniting a global community of innovators, developers, and visionaries. ICP Hub Singapore will send a dynamic delegation to join the global ICP Hubs programme, with representatives from hubs worldwide converging to shape the future of decentralized technology.

The Internet Computer, DFINITY’s groundbreaking blockchain platform, empowers secure, scalable, and autonomous digital ecosystems, redefining how we build and interact online. The Summit will spotlight this vision, bringing together diverse perspectives to explore real-world applications like decentralized finance (DeFi), secure data sovereignty, and beyond.

A Global Convergence

The World Computer Summit 2025 will draw attendees from every continent, including prominent crypto and fintech leaders from Singapore, a global powerhouse in blockchain innovation. The global ICP Hubs programme will see delegations from Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and beyond, creating a vibrant tapestry of ideas.

Singapore’s delegation, featuring key figures from the city-state’s thriving crypto and fintech scene, will showcase the nation’s leadership in driving blockchain forward. Their presence will spark collaborations with international counterparts, fueling projects that could redefine the decentralized landscape.

Elevating the Experience

Last year’s 3rd-anniversary Summit left attendees inspired, with its dynamic keynotes, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities earning high praise. The 2025 edition promises to raise the bar, offering:

  • Keynote addresses from DFINITY’s leadership, including Founder and Chief Scientist Dominic Williams, sharing bold updates to the Internet Computer’s roadmap.

Why It Matters

The Summit is more than an event—it’s a bold step toward realizing the Internet Computer’s mission to create a secure, decentralized, and user-owned internet. Unlike traditional blockchains, ICP enables developers to build applications that run entirely on-chain, free from centralized cloud providers. This vision empowers communities, protects data, and unlocks new possibilities for innovation.
