Headline: RAW VIDEO: Creepy Device Gives Artificial Intelligence A Face
Caption: A creepy gadget has been unveiled which equips AI with a lifelike face. Wehead transforms text-based AI systems by bestowing them with facial expressions and a voice. The Wehead GPT, a desktop model, anticipated for its initial deliveries this month, integrates seamlessly with the widely used Chat GPT AI tool. Featuring ultra-high-definition LED displays, it allows users to select from various faces that synchronise their lip movements with speech. A motorised neck mimics "natural movements", rendering the device "more amiable and relatable". Wehead claims these units have diverse applications, such as serving as an AI tutor for children, a helper for individuals with disabilities, or a customised news presenter. The company also proposes its potential to create digital replicas of celebrities and beloved individuals. Early buyers have the option to purchase Wehead GPT for upwards of £4,000 or lease it for more than £200 monthly. Founder and CEO, Ilya Sedoshlin, launched the first edition of the Wehead at CES 2023, where it was named one of the best devices of the show. Sedoshlin, from Palo Alto, California, USA, attended Singularity University and describes himself as a 'serial entrepreneur in emerging technologies'. The company states, "Wehead GPT is the inaugural AI device fashioned for tech aficionados and their families, offering a human-friendly manner to converse with AI-generated individuals through direct, face-to-face interactions. "This pioneering gadget surpasses conventional AI engagements by enabling users to uphold eye contact with an AI entity and communicate non-verbally, fostering a more emotional and intuitive experience."
