Creating We’re losing the last generation of Holocaust survivors. Can AI keep their stories alive? The 1A, Audio. WAMU-Radio, NPR Washington, DC. 22 April 2022. 34 minutes, 24 seconds.
Noted on link page:
As of 2020, only 400,000 Holocaust survivors were still alive. Archivists, historians, and family members are working to capture their stories before they’re gone.
The University of Southern California’s Shoah Foundation is taking recording these survivor testimonies one step further.
With the help of AI, anyone can have an interactive conversation with a survivor online, even after their death. Users can ask questions and get an answer in real-time.
CBS News reported "a lot of pushback" on the project, but a good deal of enthusiasm by some survivors. The technique is to put the survivor interviewee inside. "a giant lattice-like dome —"
“Yeah, I call it a sphere,” [survivor Pinchas] Gutter said. “They call it a dome. And then eventually, it was called a bubble.”
A bubble surrounding him with lights and more than 20 cameras. The goal was to future-proof the interviews so that as technology advances and 3D, hologram-like projection becomes the norm, they’ll have all the necessary angles."
See for AI, holograms, the image of Mr. Gutter surrounded by lights and, more to the point, cameras inside a "dome." Fairly early in the show, there's a long excerpt of a producer interviewing Mr. Gutter's avatar. During the interview portion aired, the avatar passed the Turing Test.
