This blog post explores a recent seminar hosted by our research centre featuring Professor Alan Dennis (Indiana University), a world-renowned expert in Information Systems. The post examines the shift from traditional, one-way Public Service Announcements (PSAs) to interactive, AI-driven "Celebrity-as-a-Service" (CaaS). By leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and digital human technology, Professor Dennis demonstrates how "digital twins" of celebrities can provide scalable, one-on-one interactions that significantly increase public trust and health compliance. Additionally, the post highlights Professor Dennis’s subsequent visit to our Gillmore Lab, where he engaged with our researchers to discuss the future of AI-driven communication and its alignment with our centre’s current projects.
