Are you a fan of Marilyn Monroe and would like to talk to a very realistic digital version of her? That could now be possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 60 years after her death, Digital Marilyn \u2013 created with the help of artificial intelligence \u2013 will make her debut on Friday at the South by Southwest tech conference in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n

Appearing via computer screen in a modest black turtleneck sweater and sporting her familiar blonde pixie hairstyle, the iconic actress\u2019s digital doppelganger will converse in her familiar breathy voice. She can express emotions, such as smiling in response to a compliment.<\/p>\n

In a recent test, Digital Marilyn talked about her favorite movie role as Sugar in the 1959 comedy \u201cSome Like It Hot\u201d, pausing and glancing down in a reflective manner before offering her responses.<\/p>\n

She said she found the vulnerable character to be \u201ca challenging role, but also rewarding.\u201d She also recommended other comedies, such as \u201cGentlemen Prefer Blondes\u201d.<\/p>\n

Digital Marilyn was built by Soul Machines, an AI firm that specializes in creating realistic digital people, in partnership with Authentic Brands Group. The marketing firm owns a portfolio of brands, including the likeness rights to Monroe as well as other dead celebrities.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I talk to Marilyn, it\u2019s a special feeling,\u201d said Greg Cross, CEO and co-founder of Soul Machines. \u201cYou feel like you have a good relationship with an icon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soul Machines will unveil Digital Marilyn at an event hosted by The Information, where attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the character. Cross said he hopes the demonstration will spark conversations about using the character as a brand ambassador.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
