AI Tech Let Deceased Woman Talk to Mourners at Her Funeral

A grandmother was able to answer questions at her own funeral last month with the help of new Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered "holographic" video technology. Holocaust educator Marina Smith passed away in June at the age of 87. However, an AI tool called StoryFile, built by her son's firm, meant those attending her funeral could watch her respond to their questions about her life, reports The Telegraph. Prior to her death, Smith had previously recorded hours' worth of details about her life, many of which were unknown to mourners. By using 20 synchronous cameras to film her answering a series of questions, StoryFile was able to create a digital clone of Smith.
