Critical response

Rob Sheffield from Rolling Stone gave the song a mixed review: "The I-need-love pop tunes are not getting any better, even with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake in the stripper ditty 'Ayo Technology.'"{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/curtis-100324/ |title=Curtis |first=Rob|last=Sheffield|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=September 19, 2003}} Pitchfork also gave a mixed review: "The album's only concession to modern pop trends— the Timbaland-produced, Timberlake-hooked "Ayo Technology"—flies off the rails as 50, ripped from his comfort zone, falls behind the gurgling, video-game-blipping beat. Though he tries to force the track into more familiar territory with a cyborg-stripper theme, Justin nabs the spotlight without even trying."{{Cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/10654-curtis/|title=50 Cent: Curtis|website=Pitchfork}} David Jeffries from AllMusic highlighted and wrote: "At ease is the Timbaland production "Ayo Technology" featuring Justin Timberlake, an obvious single that's "been there, done that" for all parties involved. This doesn't mean it's bland, just safe."{{Cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/curtis-mw0000481873|title = Curtis - 50 Cent | Songs, Reviews, Credits |website=AllMusic}} The A.V. Club was also positive: "Ayo Technology" follows the sexed-up template of "Candy Shop" and "Just A Lil Bit" in providing strip clubs with the most perfunctory soundtrack possible."{{Cite web|url=https://www.avclub.com/50-cent-curtis-1798203000|title=50 Cent: Curtis|website=AV Club|date=September 12, 2007 }}

Music video

The music video was premiered by BET on August 2, 2007, and was filmed in North London. 50 Cent described the music video to MTV. He said: {{quote|"You can see this is not my normal uniform, or get-up, when I'm in a music video. But it's time for me to do something a little different, and this is the perfect time for me to actually change my look. You might see this on the red carpet, but not in an actual music video. The biggest challenges for the video are giving off a natural vibe and not seeming contrived at any moment. For you to actually be comfortable when you're actually doing it is a task. At some points you've got a room full of people looking at you at one time, just watching you to see what you're going to do. You've got to relax and just do it."[https://web.archive.org/web/20070903192132/http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1566155&vid=166656 50 Cent, Justin Timberlake Suit Up for New Video]. MTV (August 2, 2007). Retrieved August 2, 2007.}} Timbaland's appearance in the music video uses features from the movie Minority Report such as moving computer interfaces with hands. Justin Timberlake's appearance is similar to that of his role in his music video "SexyBack".

The music video on YouTube has received over 330 million views as of April 2025.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RDSkR8_AQ0 50 Cent - Ayo Technology (Official Music Video) ft. Justin Timberlake].YouTube
