AI-powered holographic technology is set to enter universities for remote guest speaking for classes that could even come from as far as the grave. AI-powered lifelike avatars are coming to universities, or at least one university in England, which will be trailing the new technology from the LA-based company Proto. Additionally, David Nussbaum, who founded Proto four years ago and has been working on hologram technology of dead celebrities, said that the company may soon be able to bring back from the dead some of the world's greatest minds to teach classes. "Proto has the technology to project an image of Stephen Hawking, or anybody, and make it look like he's really there. An AI Stephen Hawking would look like him, sound like him and interact like it was him."
