“I wanted to check out one company in particular while attending Amazon Web Services’ re:Invent conference,” top AI expert Ken Young wrote. He witnessed Proto’s debut of the first AI Hologram agents in conversation with each other, and event visitors, and spoke to Head of AI Raffi Kyrszek and founding CTO Edward Ginis about the ways Proto is being used to “beam” people places and to create AI hologram agents. “Those queued up to try out the company’s demonstration inputted their name, vocation, and conversational style. Then, after being scanned, an AI avatar appeared in a seven-foot-tall holobox, bookended by digital representations of Amazon executives Nandini Ramani and Dr. Swami Sivasubramanian. Crowds watched as the three agents interacted with each other autonomously. ‘It’s really an incredible modality to experience AI as a holographic presence,” Kryszek said. ‘Lots of people interact with the chat interface. People now are doing voice, but there are applications we find that are sticky and frictionless where you just want a sense of presence interacting with a person. That’s what we got here.’
