AI characters can be used to create compelling learning material for all ages, from delivery of content in the classroom to engagement with content at locations like museums, historical monuments or even in nature.

By using state-of-the-art algorithms, prominent historical, modern-day or fictional figures can be brought to life to engage learners with ‘lived’ experiences of scientists making their discoveries, historical figures narrating battles or painters discussing their inspiration and process.

AI generated characters can anonymize people in sensitive conversation while maintaining their human presence as someone else.

Children can see their doctor as a more fun, comforting character. This can help alleviate fear and stress before, during, or after medical appointment. 

With our unified pipeline, you can generate your own AI generated characters.  For safety, the output is marked to be detectable by both humans and machines. The code will be publicly available soon at : https://github.com/mitmedialab/AI-generated-characters

While this technology enables exciting possibilities, AI generated media has the potential to be used for malicious purposes.  Going beyond these challenges will require cooperation between communities, governments, industries, researchers, and academic institutions.
