Imagination is more important than knowledge. ---Albert Einstein
“If we do it right, we might be able to evolve a form of work that taps into our uniquely human capabilities and restores our humanity. The ultimate paradox is that this technology may become a powerful catalyst that we need to reclaim our humanity.” ---John Hagel

Not only do they tell us their great inspirational stories, but we also learn to know them as people. Unfortunately, this is not the case in real life. Sure, there are documentaries of actors reenacting historical events, but we can't engage with them. Isn't it all quite one-dimensional? We are unable to communicate with them. But what if we have the ability to communicate with them? What if they start a conversation with us? Doesn't it seem to be impossible? However, it is probable! Let's see what we can do.
First, while you might be familiar with them, let me make a few things clear to you.
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Albert Einstein is singular. Einstein's unerring, surefooted ability to penetrate right to the heart of things to reveal nature's secrets remains incomprehensible to me. With hesitancy, due to my appreciation of the subtlety of his thought, here is a tentative answer: Einstein was a storyteller. There is a myth that Einstein was a solitary genius who pursued exquisite mathematics to discover his great theory – genius influenced by aesthetics; mathematics as a prophecy method. In fact, Einstein was neither well educated nor skilled in mathematics. He did not, however, function alone. He relied on friends like Marcel Grossmann to clarify the mathematics that underpins general relativity, and he relied on other friends like Michele Besso to find the right interpretation of the mathematics. Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 "for his contributions to theoretical physics, especially for his discovery of the photoelectric effect law."
Now let's talk about the main topic. Yes, you know it right!
About Digital Einstein
UneeQ, a digital human company based in the United States and New Zealand, has announced the release of Digital Einstein, the first in the company's new Companions series. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's Nobel Prize in Physics, UneeQ has remastered Einstein as a digital human, driven by conversational and experiential AI, to create a one-of-a-kind, meaningful interaction with one of history's greatest minds.
Experiential AI, such as Digital Einstein, is the next step in the evolution of human-machine interaction, incorporating digital humans to drive, charisma engagements that move customers, patients, learners, and end-users beyond transactions and into meaningful, emotional encounters.
Digital Einstein, driven by UneeQ's cutting-edge digital human platform, flawlessly recreates Einstein's personality characteristics and mannerisms and is accessible to anyone who wants to talk with him 24 hours a day.
Einstein claimed to have a strong German accent and to speak with good-heartedness and good-naturedness, slowly, wisely and kindly. The latest interpretation of Einstein's voice has the physicist still speaking with a German accent, but with an additional sense of dry humour and friendliness to match his real-life counterpart.
Via a regular question, you can speak to Einstein about many topics or talk about his work and study in his life. I asked him a few questions about whether the Earth was flat. "Of course the Earth is not flat. Don't be ridiculous," He responded. Haha! I even asked Einstein about the COVID-19 pandemic. He says," Let's hope sooner rather than later we will have some form of resolution and normal life. Please be safe, stay healthy, and give your loved ones a hug as much as possible".

Via his regular quiz, Digital Einstein can measure an individual's knowledge on a variety of subjects, or they can have a personal discussion about his life's work and study. The Digital Einstein experience was designed to attract people of all ages, but it also serves as a welcoming face and personality for those who have been feeling alone and lonely for the past year.
Anyone who wants to talk with him 24 hours daily can use the AI chatbot. It can be used for the testing, testing and personal discussions of a person's awareness of a number of subjects through a regular examination.

Would it not be an utter change of the game if people could learn from the wizard themselves about basic physics concepts? And what if you could ask him questions about yourself, your views of the universe, or something else and get a reply? It is now possible!

Concepts used in this project
Conversational AI
Source:- ciodialogues.com
Conversational Artificial Intelligence, also known as Conversational AI, is a series of technologies that allow computers to mimic real-world conversations. Businesses can automate consumer contact points anywhere by conversational AI—on social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter, their websites, their apps or even voice assistants such as Google Home.
Both "Chatbot" and "Conversational AI" have somewhat the same significance. 'Conversational AI' is more inclusive, however, of all technologies falling within a bot screen, such as voice bots and voice + text wizards, whereas chatbots are more connotated by 'text only.
They use large quantities of information, machine learning and natural language processing to imitate human interactions, to acknowledge voice, text and meanings in various languages.
Experiential AI

Experiential AI is suggested as the latest research strategy in which artists and scientists collaborate to eradicate the enigma of algorithms and clearly reveal their mechanisms. It tackles the problem of coming up with new ways to increase accountability and cooperation between humans and machines in the field of artificial intelligence.
Artists may make the limits of structures clear and provide innovative ways to make the reasoning of AI transparent and decipherable. Moreover, creative practices will study new human configurations and algorithms and chart the environment between humans and machines in inter-agencies.
