AI Stan Lee Hologram to Debut at LA Comic Con
Los Angeles, CA - In a move that has sparked both excitement and skepticism among fans of the late Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee, an AI-powered hologram of the iconic creator is set to make its debut at this year's Los Angeles Comic Con.
According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, the hologram was created by Proto Hologram, in collaboration with virtual production company HyperReal. The Stan Lee Experience, which will feature the hologram, will be available for fans to visit and interact with for a fee of $15-$20.
"We're thrilled to bring this innovative technology to Comic Con," said Bob Sabouni, head of Stan Lee Legacy Programs. "The hologram is designed to capture the essence of Stan's spirit and personality, while staying true to his values and legacy."
Sabouni assured that the AI system was trained on a vast library of Stan Lee's interviews, speeches, and public appearances, ensuring that its responses are faithful to the creator's intent.
However, some have raised concerns about the ethics of using AI to recreate a deceased person. "It's a bit unsettling to see an AI version of Stan Lee," said Dr. Rachel Kim, a leading expert in AI ethics. "While it may be impressive from a technical standpoint, we need to consider the implications of creating digital versions of people who have passed away."
The use of AI-powered holograms has been gaining traction in recent years, with applications ranging from entertainment and education to marketing and advertising.
At LA Comic Con, fans will have the opportunity to take selfies with the Stan Lee hologram or engage in one-on-one conversations for a fee. The experience is expected to be a major draw at the convention, which takes place next week.
As the use of AI-powered holograms continues to evolve, experts are weighing in on the potential benefits and drawbacks of this technology. "While it's exciting to see new innovations like this, we need to have a nuanced discussion about the ethics and implications of creating digital versions of people," said Dr. Kim.
The Stan Lee Experience will be available at LA Comic Con from September 25-27. Tickets are now on sale for fans who want to experience the AI hologram in person.
