A remarkable event is on the horizon as Spanish artist Alicia Framis prepares to wed a hologram brought to life by artificial intelligence (AI). That’s right! Ms. Framis is making history as the first woman ever to marry an AI-generated hologram.
Her digital partner AILex was created using the latest technology and smart learning methods. Ms. Framis made AILex to be a caring friend who understands her feelings. She sees him as a grown-up hologram who is carefully made to fit their special bond.
Ms. Framis’ unique project, ‘Hybrid Couple,’ is breaking new ground by exploring love, closeness and who we are in the AI era. She wants to bring more warmth and creativity into the usually cold world of artificial intelligence.
The wedding ceremony is scheduled to take place this summer at the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam. Currently, Ms. Framis is busy designing her wedding attire and planning for the guests’ attire.
Ms. Framis imagines a future where it is normal to have relationships with holograms, robots and avatars. She believes they could be great friends for people who want emotional support like her friend who felt better with an AI friend after her husband passed away.
Ms. Framis wants to start talks about how human relationships are changing and how technology is becoming part of our daily lives. Through her project and upcoming wedding, she wants to demonstrate how humans and technology can collaborate in a fresh way. She wants everyone to think about the chance of a future where humans live with artificial friends and partners.
