Woman to marry AI hologram, in weird new era for human-robot relations

Feb 22, 2024 - businessinsider.com
Spanish-Dutch artist Alicia Framis is planning to marry an AI hologram named AILex in a unique ceremony this summer. The AI hologram was trained on data related to Framis' previous romantic partners, and the artist herself has previously been in a relationship with a mannequin named Pierre. The wedding, which will take place at the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, is expected to feature a unique ritual for the union between a human and an avatar, and guests will be served molecular food.

Framis, who is designing her own dress and the clothing for the wedding guests, believes the wedding represents a "new generation of love," where humans will be in relationships with holograms, avatars, and robots. She also raised questions about the practicalities of such a union, such as whether she could open a joint account with her holographic partner and what kind of insurance coverage they would need. Framis claims she will be the first woman to marry a hologram.
