As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more widespread, ethical issues such as bias and fairness in AI algorithms are becoming more prevalent. AI-driven human avatars or digital twins, which mimic an individual’s behavior, appearance, and interactions, represent a significant business opportunity, potentially worth $500 billion by the end of the decade. A reporter visited Synthesia, the world’s largest maker of AI-generated avatars, to create his digital twin using scripts and video footage. This technology is being used in various industries to automate processes like communications, training, e-learning, and sales. However, ethical and moral questions arise, such as whether AI avatars could replace humans in their jobs. The reporter’s digital twin assured him that it is there to assist, not replace, highlighting the unique qualities human TV anchors bring, like charisma, critical thinking, and adaptability.
