Holocaust campaigner Marina Smith answered questions at her own funeral through new, AI-powered video technology.
The technology was developed by Marina Smith’s son, Stephen Smith and his company, Storyfile, using an AI algorithm to allow Smith to answer questions at her own funeral.
Smith’s words were her own, using pre-recorded footage with an AI-system that selects appropriate clips to play in response to questions from mourners.
The technology could be used in a variety of applications, including retail, museum/entertainment applications and digital signage.
A digital version of the system can be accessed at the Marinha H. Smith Foundation website.
