Earlier this year, Coca-Cola unveiled the limited-edition Coca-Cola Y3000 Zero Sugar as a first-of-its-kind soda co-created by humans and artificial intelligence and the iconic brand recently took over the Sphere in Las Vegas for a week to immerse people in its vision for the future. The week-long Destination Y3000 experience transformed the Sphere into a futuristic cityscape with a design informed by the Y3000 AI Cam—an AI-powered tool that people can use to transform photos of their surroundings into futuristic visuals.
Coke Y3000 is the eighth Coke Creations and although previous iterations leaned into a digital-first approach as a means of connecting with younger consumers, this one stands out by playing with the possibilities of artificial intelligence in the physical world.
