AI Jane Austen character unveiled in Hampshire
Visitors will be able to have a chat with Pride and Prejudice's Elizabeth Bennet
An AI version of the Pride and Prejudice character Elizabeth Bennet has been unveiled at Jane Austen's House in Hampshire.
Elizabeth Bennet can be visited at the Learning Centre at Jane Austen’s House in Alton, between September and mid-December.
The University for the Creative Arts, which is based in Farnham in Surrey, teamed up with artificial intelligence firm StarPal to create the avatar.
UCA say as Lizzie interacts with more people her 'personality' will evolve further and each conversation will be unique.
Director of Jane Austen’s House, Lizzie Dunford, said: “It has been fascinating to watch this project develop, and to witness the innovative staff and students at UCA developing these new technologies, and new ways of accessing literary and cultural heritage.”
