G20 Summit: AI-generated avatar to welcome world leaders

At the ‘Mother of Democracy’ exhibition, which is set to be hosted at the Bharat Mandapam during the G20 Summit, distinguished Heads of State and other prominent leaders will receive a warm welcome from an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-crafted ‘avatar.’ This digital representation will take the form of a traditionally attired Indian woman.

Upon their arrival in the exhibition area, this ‘avatar’ will engage guests by offering them a concise overview of the exhibition’s content and purpose, according to a source familiar with the arrangements, as reported by a news source.

Produced under the auspices of the Culture Ministry, the innovative avatar has been developed to offer succinct briefings on the special exhibition titled ‘Bharat: The Mother of Democracy.’ This is scheduled for September 9-10, 2023 and will be available in 16 global languages, encompassing English, French, Mandarin, Italian, Korean, and Japanese, facilitated through a device.

‘Bharat: The Mother of Democracy’ aims to showcase India’s democratic heritage spanning from the Vedic period to the contemporary era. It will offer insights into various aspects, including the Vedic period, The Ramayana, The Mahabharata, Jain dharm, Buddha dharm, Chhatrapati Shivaji, local self-governance, the Constitution, and modern India’s electoral processes.
