Intel Taps Will.i.am For Creative Director Job

William James Adams Jr., better known as Will.i.am of the popular music group Black Eyed Peas, was named Intel's new director of creative innovation, the chip maker said Tuesday.

Adams, a Grammy winner with multiple platinum albums, will work with Intel on developing new technologies, music and in technology advocacy, Intel said in a statement.

It is "a multi-year, hands-on creative and technology collaboration with Intel," the chip giant said.

The unusual personnel move comes just a week after Intel made a similar announcement related to multimedia.

Last week, the company announced that Erik Huggers, director of the BBC's (British Broadcasting Corporation) Future Media & Technology division, will join Intel as corporate vice president and general manager of its Digital Home Group.
