Dr. Jonathan Gratch, Director of Virtual Humans Research at USC, and Dr. Alan Cowen, CEO of Hume AI, share their definitions of "virtual humans" and what makes them a unique building block of the future of AI.

Join Alan Cowen, CEO of Hume AI, Dr. Jonathan Gratch, Director for Virtual Human Research at USC Institute for Creative Technologies, and host Matt Forte as they discuss "The Future of AI That Talks.” When AI agents are powerful enough to carry out our goals, how will we communicate our goals to them? Talking is an essential function for beneficial AI. We discuss the importance of embodiment, gestures, and expressions for AI that talks. We also discuss the social and emotional benefits of well-designed virtual humans, including their use in training and therapy.
