2024: Launch of realistic digital copies of deceased stars

On March 8, 2024, Soul Machines partnered with Authentic Brands Group to unveil Digital Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe's AI-powered lookalike. Fans are said to be able to have a unique experience of personalised and emotional communication with a celebrity.

Digital Marilyn interacts with fans in real time using advanced natural language processing, deep learning algorithms, and the GPT 3.5 model. The AI-twin accurately imitates the voice and behavior of the American film actress, knows how to joke and conduct a meaningful dialogue. In fact, the new technology allows you to sell realistic digital copies of dead stars.

The basis of "Digital Marilyn" is the so-called Biological AI (Biological AI). It mimics the human nervous system, providing realistic emotional responses and dynamic conversations. Additionally, a proprietary feedback system based on the camera and microphone is involved: the double reads the user's emotions and responds to them accordingly. Each interaction session is different: "Digital Marilyn" analyzes the preferences of a specific interlocutor and adapts its answers, contributing to the establishment of personalized communication. In addition, the AI twin is able to generate realistic emotions and reproduce subtle facial expressions, creating a "deeply personal and memorable experience." The average conversation time is 20 minutes.

Marilyn Monroe remains an out-of-time icon, inspiring generations with her talent, charisma and immortal heritage. We're excited to partner with Soul Machines, whose cutting-edge technology is perfect for bringing Marilyn to life in the age of artificial intelligence, says Dana Carpenter, executive vice president of Authentic Brands Group.[1]
