Fable Studio unveils two AI-based virtual beings who can talk to you

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, climatology, robotics/AI

Fable Studio has announced two new conversational AI virtual beings, or artificial people. Their names are Charlie and Beck, and they will be able to hold conversations as if they were real people.
