Those are the driverless cars that originated in San Francisco. As I realized this meant that Uber and Lyft drivers could eventually get replaced by robocars, it made me wonder:What other jobs are at risk of being replaced by robots or CGI?Then the fear donned on me: influencers. We could potentially see a world in the next 10-15 years where our comfort creators are not actual humans but rather made up of Sim-like avatars. These “generated influencers”, as I am calling it, have no racist Tweets to be unearthed, they won't call out for sick days or face creative burn out. But most importantly, they won't ask for any money.We already saw the rise of CGI-creators the last 10-years with influencers like Lil Miquela growing to 2.5 million followers on IG.

Virtuele influencers zoals Lil Miquela en Esther Olofsson domineren ons digitale landschap en veranderen de manier waarop merken verhalen vertellen. Maar wat betekent dit voor ons begrip van authenticiteit en de balans tussen mens en technologie? In de nieuwste aflevering van De Technoloog onderzoeken Ben van der Burg, Mark Beekhuis en hun gast Maarten Reijgersberg de ethische en praktische vragen achter deze digitale trend. Ontdek hoe virtuele influencers grenzen vervagen, verhalen vormgeven en ons aanzetten tot nadenken over de toekomst van mens en machine. Wat maakt een influencer?Maarten Reijgersberg, een pionier op het gebied van digitale communicatie, stelt een prikkelende vraag: Zijn alle influencers niet gewoon virtueel? Zelfs menselijke influencers volgen vaak scripts en maken gebruik van filters om een zorgvuldig georkestreerd imago neer te zetten. Virtuele influencers zoals Esther Olofsson doen hetzelfde, maar met een verschil: ze zijn volledig gecreëerd door technologie, flexibel, onvermoeibaar en perfect af te stemmen op de wensen van een merk. Authentiek of een illusie?In een wereld waar authenticiteit een marketingstrategie is geworden, stelt Maarten: Misschien is het concept ‘authenticiteit' zelf wel een illusie. Dit roept de vraag op: waarom zou een digitaal personage minder echt zijn dan een menselijke influencer? Het publiek wil vooral een verhaal dat aanspreekt en verbindt, ongeacht wie (of wat) het vertelt. Technologie en vertrouwenVirtuele influencers kunnen enkel succesvol zijn als ze transparant zijn over hun niet-menselijke aard. Mensen accepteren een digitaal personage, zolang ze weten dat het een creatie is. Dit idee strekt zich uit naar andere technologieën zoals AI-chatbots en digitale merkambassadeurs, die steeds vaker persoonlijkheid en empathie uitstralen. De vraag blijft: hoe ver mogen we gaan met het vermengen van menselijke en digitale eigenschappen? De ethische verantwoordelijkheidAI en virtuele influencers bieden ongekende mogelijkheden, maar brengen ook ethische uitdagingen met zich mee. Maarten benadrukt dat de technologie zelf neutraal is; het zijn de makers en bedrijven die verantwoordelijk zijn voor hoe ze deze tools inzetten. Transparantie, ethische overwegingen en respect voor het publiek zijn essentieel om vertrouwen en geloofwaardigheid te behouden. De opkomst van virtuele influencers daagt ons uit om anders te denken over authenticiteit, invloed en technologie. Terwijl menselijke creativiteit en digitale innovatie steeds meer verweven raken, is het aan makers en bedrijven om deze evolutie te sturen. Het publiek vraagt niet om perfectie, maar om eerlijkheid en verbinding.

In 2016, followers flocked to an Instagram user purporting to be Miquela Sousa, a 19-year-old Brazilian-American model, singer, and sometimes activist. For years, no one was quite sure if Miquela was made-up, or to what degree. Was she a model rendered doll-like by filters? An actress? A totally fictional character? Her ambiguous humanity helped Miquela land lucrative brand partnerships with the likes of BMW and Calvin Klein. But in recent years, interest in her has been slipping. Writer Mercedes Gonzales-Bazan joins Endless Thread to talk about Miquela's mysterious origin story, and what her declining relevance reveals about our current relationship with AI. You can read Mercedes Gonzales-Bazan's essay, Death of the Artificial Influencer, here. Credits: This episode was produced by Grace Tatter. Mix and sound design by Emily Jankowski.

You've probably heard of ‘Lil Miquela. The 19 year-old Brazilian-American influencer has millions of followers and has partnered with the likes of Samsung and Prada. But despite capturing the hearts of many, she's not real. But you probably haven't heard her origin story. In this episode we take a trip back to 2016, to a world that looked much different to today, together with two of Miquela's creators – Trevor McFedries and Isaac Bratzel – cofounder and Chief Design and Innovation Officer of Brud at the time.We learn what inspired the experiment and what early signs indicated that Miquela was not just a novel idea. In a world where spinning up an influencer, we learn what it took to capture mindshare, the pushback they've received, what a “scalable influencer” means, and what they think is to come.

Virtual artists have been around since the time of Alvin and the Chipmunks but have never really penetrated mainstream music. This could be about to change. Increasingly we're seeing breakout hits from artists like Grimes' War Nymph and Lil Miquela. And with the coming of the metaverse, virtual artists could have the platform they always needed to propel this niche into overdrive. To help explain this trend, our guest today is Ian Simon who joins us from Los Angeles. Ian is a co-founder of Strangeloop Studios, a visual production company that has created music videos and concert visuals for artists like the Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar. Ian and his partner David Wexler also founded a new startup called Spirit Bomb. Spirit Bomb is a music label dedicated to virtual artists.

Your Roommate's Favorite Podcast w/ Morgan Cook and Victor Wright
This week Morgan and Victor explore the strange internet sensation Lil Miquela and then go into some really disturbing medical news.
In 2002, S1m0ne posed the question of what would happen if we were to replace actors with computers. What 20 years ago seemed like a fantasy in the realm of science fiction has increasingly begun to rear its head in our world, and we as a society are still grappling with the consequences and implications of our increasingly virtual reality. Computer-generated actors, models, influencers, and pop stars, we've got them all on this week's episode. Hosted by Liam, Abram, and Pam. Further reading Lil Miquela on Instagram Ananova, the first virtual newscaster Kyoko Date/DK-96, the first virtual popstar E-Cyas, the first male virtual popstar t-babe segment on E!

McGarry pointed to virtual celebrities like Lil Miquela and virtual concerts like Travis Scott's giant event in Fortnite as setting the stage for Authentic Artists. In a sense, […]
This week on the program, a conversation with Brud Co-Founder and CEO Trevor McFedries. Trevor was an artist in his past life who went on to Co-Found Brud, a transmedia studio that creates digital character-driven story worlds. The startup rose to prominence alongside one of its characters, a robot influencer named Lil Miquela. Miquela has nearly 3 million Instagram followers and 10 million Spotify streams and has collaborated with brands like Samsung. In this episode, we discuss Trevor's journey from artist to startup CEO, the origin story of Brud, and how Trevor broke through the crowded media space with influencers that don't even exist.

Thanks for listening to another episode of The Indian Dream.Join our WhatsApp group here: https://bit.ly/2LgDN2n As always, Business Munchies is an exploration of business ideas and how they can be leveraged in order to build new businesses or scale up existing businesses. This week, we had an interesting line up of strange ideas, we hope you like them!Timestamps:(0:00) - Introduction(1:17) - Clout Kitchens(5:50) - Virtual influencers(10:25) - High End Ice(14:45) - Cohort Based Learning(24:10) - Transparent Pricing with Car insurance(26:51) - Jewellery Insurance (30:41) - Legal Micro SaaS1. Clout Kitchens: Mr. Beast Burgers launched in 300 locations across the US in a single day. Why can't the same thing be done in India? Create a brand of Biryani around SRK or Salman Khan and give them equity. HRX and Wrogn have already done this with apparel and it's easier than ever to do this with food.2. Virtual influencers: Lil Miquela is not a real person but this virtual persona brings in $12 million in revenue every year. There's no one doing this on a large scale in India. You can also do this for different niches: music, sports, fashion, etc. and use build economies of scale in design/animation, cross promotion, etc. 3. High End Ice: Where does the ice in your fancy whiskey come from? You have no idea, nor do I. I think there's a play to build a high end ice brand bringing assurance of high quality ice to people through a consumer campaign on social media. The main means of distribution would be bars and restaurants. In general, consolidating a disaggregated market can be a large potential business. 4. Cohort Based Learning5. Transparent Pricing with Car insurance: MetroMile and the Good Better Best Newsletter6. Jewellery Insurance 7. Legal Micro SaaS - A micro-SaaS business that helps take away the hassle of super basic and standardised legal documents such as NDA's, Lease Agreements, etc. so that you can just focus on the important parts of running your business. Example: The Legal Capsule

Originally coined by Masahiro Mori in 1970, the term “uncanny valley” describes our strange revulsion toward things that appear nearly human, but not quite right. This revulsion usually involves robots, but can also include computer animations and some medical conditions. THE UNCANNY VALLEY AND ANIMATED MOVIES. There's a big difference between two popular animated movies released in 2004. The Incredibles portrays characters with intentionally angular and exaggerated features that leave no doubt to the viewer that they are watching cartoon characters. However, audiences packed with children cringed while watching The Polar Express with its dead-eyed people and an uncomfortable dark-tinge to the demeanor of the conductor - not to mention the unsettling message of the movie to carelessly hand over faith to complete strangers. The movie slipped into the uncanny valley and wasted a stellar performance by Tom Hanks on a movie that's perhaps better heard than viewed. TRANSHUMANISM. Dr. Perrodin shares a discussion he had with a friend that explored the matter of transhumanism, or the international philosophical movement that advocates for the transformation of the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies to greatly enhance human intellect and physiology. An example might be contact lenses that allow people to record what is happening around them or even bio-engineering to increase intelligence. What are the security implications, for example, of people being able to record everything in their vicinity without awareness or consent of others? LIL MIQUELA. This teen has a million social media followers - an impressive feat, considering that she is a fictional person managed by a team of engineers, marketers and dreamers. Dr. Perrodin argues that Lil Miquela has crossed the uncanny valley - especially for children with perceptual or intellectual disabilities convinced that she is an authentic person. IMPLICATIONS OF AVATAR REALISM. Elections and marketing are immediate areas where avatar realism will substantially impact “the way things have been done” in the world. It's completely possible to tailor an appealing realistic avatar that is a mouthpiece for political agendas or brands. While this arguably happens with people, the accountability of an avatar won't be as susceptible to shaming and people will be less interested in applying pressure to the persons programming the avatars. SCHOOL SAFETY AND MANIPULATIVE AVATARS - THE NEW RISK TO CHILD GROOMING. Dr. Perrodin expresses concern that CGI avatars will eventually fall into the hands of child groomers and provide a means by which to develop a more comprehensive profile for online bait profiles. He urges schools and parents to make children aware and skeptical of potential realistic avatars. Dr. Perrodin notes that well over half of people “friended” on social media are never met in person - and this practice has made it easier for skilled avatar engineers to jump the uncanny valley as few people seek to validate or authenticate sources. SCARILY REALISTIC ‘DEEP VIDEO PORTRAITS' & FAKE NEWS - ANYONE COULD BE FALSELY PRESENTED. Finally, Dr. Perrodin mentions a new technology that allows the user to edit facial movements of persons to match dubbed voices. While not yet perfected or available at the retail level, such technology could be deployed to make it appear that anyone gave a certain speech or made certain comments. This is a novelty if you want to watch yourself giving a State of the Union address through some basic uploaded video. However, what if this software was used to make it appear that you made inappropriate comments? If a 30-second video clip of this fabricated presentation went viral, it could result in permanent personal and career ruin. Is it even possible to protect yourself against this method of character attack? FOLLOW DR. PERRODIN: Twitter @SafetyPhD and subscribe to The Safety Doc YouTube channel & Apple Podcasts.

En avril 2016, la jeune Miquela Sousa, âgée de 19 ans, ouvre sa page Instagram sous le nom de Lil Miquela, comme des millions de jeunes filles de son âge le font. Miquela se décrit comme une artiste musicale, aussi passionnée de mode. Elle passe beaucoup de temps en studio et compte enregistrer son premier single très bientôt. Elle fréquente la jeune relève artistique de Los Angeles, supporte plusieurs bonnes causes comme Black Lives Matter, et véhicule de belles valeurs auprès de ses abonnés. Alors que sa popularité augmente, les internautes commencent à se douter que quelque chose d'étrange se trame derrière ce personnage, puisque toutes ses photos semblent avoir été créées ou extrêmement retouchées par ordinateur. Un an plus tard, d'autres personnages virtuels rejoignent la vie de Miquela, et une drôle de dynamique d'amour-haine se dessine sur Instagram. Mais qui est derrière tout ce scénario? S'agit-il d'une blague ou d'un coup publicitaire? Emile fait la lumière sur cette histoire.
