In a new conversation, the artist frames artificial intelligence as a historic, dangerous force while announcing her next album, ‘Psy Opera’.
Grimes has detailed her views on artificial intelligence in a wide ranging interview with author Nnedi Okorafor for Interview Magazine. The conversation also served to announce her next album, titled ‘Psy Opera’, and marks a public re emergence following her divorce from Elon Musk.
Her commentary on AI was characteristically maximalist. She described it as the most dangerous development in history, suggesting its impact could surpass that of monotheism or religious figures. “This is a bigger deal than Jesus,” she said. Grimes argued for greater public awareness of the technology’s risks, stating a failure to do so could lead to military disaster.
The interview positions Grimes at a personal and professional pivot point, using the platform to advocate for her technological philosophy while redirecting focus toward her own artistic output. The announcement of ‘Psy Opera’ provides a concrete next step for her music after a period defined more by her personal life and external commentary.
