Deepfakes technology and AI bring Salvador Dali back as a museum assistant

Modern art master and leading figure of the Surrealist movement, Salvador Dali passed away over 30 years ago. The Spanish artist had himself cryogenically frozen hoping that science of the future and technology could bring him back. Dali believed that the world needs geniuses and artists and feared 'the loss of Dali.' Sadly, science isn't at a point were we can revive the dead, but technology can at least fool us into believing that we can.

Using Deepfakes technology (which gained notoriety by superimposing celebrity faces onto porn actors'), Artificial Intelligence, old footage and voice recordings of Salvador Dali as well as an actor to serve as a motion-capture subject, Dali is indeed back. Appearing inside a mirror to greet guests at the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, the Dali AI interacts with guests with over 45 mins of new footage.

If you were waiting for a “proper” post-credits scene for Avengers: Endgame and was disappointed, then here’s some news for you. The epic finale to the Infinity Saga finally gets a post-credits scene. Now, if you’re a fan, you’ve probably already seen it, though. Endgame’s new post-credits scene is the second trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home.
