“Twitch, a lot of you are young and don’t know me. We’ll make up for lost time together.” On the live broadcast platform, it is General De Gaulle who addresses the audience. You can even ask him questions.
He is a French engineer who hides behind the DefendIntelligence channel. On YouTube, the artificial intelligence specialist Anis Ayari posts videos about this technology. But from this Friday, August 25, she broadcasts live the AI avatars of Emmanuel Macron or General de Gaulle. Thus, viewers will be able to interact with the current or former President of the Republic.
An AI by Jacques Chirac in preparation
But the creator of the experiment admits that “with the dead everything becomes more complicated.” “We bring them back to life in a certain way,” he admits. This raises ethical questions in particular.
Above all, beyond the ethical aspect, the legal question also arises. Because at the moment there is no legal framework to legislate on creations related to artificial intelligence.
However, this does not prevent Anis Ayari from continuing to develop avatars. The next to be put online will be Jacques Chirac. But the engineer warned that after three political figures, he plans to create an AI version of other public figures.
After mentioning Coluche, he assured this Monday, August 28 on Twitch that he wanted to develop an alternative avatar of Elon Musk. His ultimate goal is for his creations to debate among themselves.
In the United States, the TrumpOrBiden2024 Twitch channel has already exploited this concept. For several weeks you can see an endless debate between the former and the current US president. All fueled by the questions and interventions of the viewers published in the chat.
