Exploring Conversations with the Future: Engaging with Metahumans

As reported by SupplyChainBrain, you might be wondering if the “person” on that kiosk screen is a real human or just a complex digital creation. The concept of virtual humans assisting with inquiries and customer service isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but these digital entities are becoming increasingly lifelike in thier appearance and interactions. We’re stepping into an era defined by “metahumans,” which are voice-activated interfaces designed to connect with users through what feels like genuine empathy and understanding.

Ivan Lau,the founder of Pantheon Lab,sheds light on this fascinating development. He notes that advancements in artificial intelligence—especially large language models—are paving the way for these digital beings to recognize, interpret, and respond to human emotions almost instantaneously. In our conversation, we explore where these metahumans might emerge next, their potential capabilities, and how they could be received by real people. Will this trend signal a decline in authentic human interaction? Join us as we delve into this intriguing topic hosted by Bob Bowman from SupplyChainBrain.
