Artificial intelligence-powered human robots are known as AI avatars. These digital personas are used to improve interpersonal communication. They use natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to communicate with people. The creation of AI avatars is on the rise as people become more at ease interacting with human-like bots. In the future, 75% of customers want more human interaction, according to a PwC survey.
Although the idea of AI-powered digital humans may sound like science fiction, there is no competition to be the first to introduce this innovation. AI anchors are a recent technological innovation in this field. An AI anchor that resembled Zhang Zhao exactly and spoke both Mandarin and English was unveiled by the Chinese media outlet Xingu in November 2019.
On the other hand, Soul Machines, a company that humanizes AI to create digital humans, raised $40 million in January of this year for AI digital avatars. The AI Foundation, a company that enables users to create AI avatars of themselves, received $10 million as well. The business also creates celebrity avatars. The business intends to launch a mobile app in early 2020 that will enable users to communicate with a virtual version of a well-known proponent of alternative medicine, Deepak Chopra. This avatar is a piece of software designed to interact directly with readers and promote "the real Deepak Chopra's" books. The ability for app users to share private health information with this digital avatar is one of its most important features.
AI avatar use cases in the real world include:
Communication
People can make their own AI avatars using modern mobile apps that are powered by AI. People can create their digital avatars by taking photos and using apps like Apple M Emoji and Samsung AR Emoji. When they are texting one another, they can also use various emojis on their avatars. This advancement in artificial intelligence makes it possible to personalize mobile apps, which helps to enhance user experience.
Gaming
One of the most well-liked sectors where AI avatars can flourish is the gaming industry. Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled digital avatars could significantly reduce the time required to produce realistic character movements. For instance, the NBA2K franchise of basketball games. The on-screen characters in this game were all previously based on real people wearing motion capture suits. However, using deep reinforcement learning, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Deep Motion Inc. have created intelligent avatars that could improve the realism of basketball video games by learning from motion-capture data.
Instruction and Training
Virtual and augmented reality have already had a significant impact on training. Now that AI avatars are becoming more prevalent, businesses can train their staff members online. The virtual classroom can benefit from increased engagement and memory retention thanks to these digital education avatars. For instance, Synthesia, an AI video production company, collaborates with a wide range of clients from various industries to reimagine how businesses train employees, spread knowledge, and more.
These digital avatars created by computers will also have a huge impact on lives and businesses in the future. They will alter the way people work and live on a daily basis.
