Created by Samsung as part of the Neon Project, the Artificial Human is a realistic avatar that can be used for both entertainment and business - as a guide, administrator, and so on.
On Twitter, there was a message about Samsung's readiness to introduce the first artificial human. It was published by the leading expert of the Neon project, the Indian scientist Pranav Mistry.
“The code is finally working and ready for the CORE R3 demo. Now he can autonomously control his facial expressions, move, speak (even in Hindi), regardless of the initial data,”the scientist rejoices.
Pranav also posted an image of one of the project's avatars. Images of several more artificial people were posted on the project's Reddit page. Later they were removed, but they managed to be "cut" and published on Youtube. It should be noted that artificial people look very realistic, like real people, and not the usual computer animation.
There are several questions for the specialists of the Neon project. To what extent are avatars computerized? That is, are they based on high-quality videos of people, or are they animated after the fact? And more importantly, how good are these avatars when talking to them and how appropriate are their emotions? The resulting avatars can be mistaken for real people, which means the technology developed by Samsung is a huge step forward.
Mistry believes that digital people will become the main technology of the 2020s: “There are many examples in films of how AI interacts with our world. A digital person can become a part of our daily life: a virtual news anchor, a virtual administrator or even an AI movie star."
