Artist who worked on Pixar's Brave giving Google AI 'personality' - BBC News

A storyboard artist on Pixar's Highlands-set movie Brave is helping to give artificial intelligence developed by Google its "personality". US-based Emma Coats was an artist on Brave for four-and-a-half years and part of a Pixar crew that made a research trip to Scotland. Brave, whose lead Merida was played by Kelly Macdonald, was released in 2012. Coats now writes dialogue for Google Assistant, which runs on computers, phones and a new smart home device. The 31-year-old, who also worked on Pixar's Monsters University and makes her own short films, has fond memories of working on Brave and Scotland.
