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.
