Ozzy Osbourne's Family Creates AI Avatar

Ozzy Osbourne's family is working with two tech companies to create a digital version of him.

Jack Osbourne says the AI version of his dad will be 'tasteful' and not lame.

This is in response to some fans being upset about the idea of an Ozzy AI avatar.

Jack said it will be a respectful and complex project, not just a simple image of his dad.

Some fans expressed discomfort with the new tech venture on social media.

One fan said Ozzy would not have wanted an AI hologram, but his wife Sharon might have pushed for it.

The Osbourne family shared the news at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas.

They are working with Hyperreal and Proto Hologram to create a digital Ozzy.

Ozzy Osbourne passed away last year at the age of 76 due to a heart attack.

Jack Osbourne said the AI avatar is very accurate and a bit scary.

The digital Ozzy will exist as long as computers do and can be used in many ways.

You can use the avatar to make commercials or other content easily.

Sharon Osbourne said you can ask the AI Ozzy questions and get answers in his own voice.

The Osbourne family plans to take the AI avatar on tour around the world.

Sharon wants Ozzy's brand to be remembered like Elvis.

She talked to the BBC about the early tests of the AI avatar.

The avatar is very detailed, showing every pore on Ozzy's face.

This is not the first time a dead celebrity has been turned into a hologram.

The same companies working on Ozzy's avatar also worked on Stan Lee and Paul McCartney projects.

Other celebrities like Michael Jackson and Abba have also been turned into holograms.

A holographic Amy Winehouse tour was planned but met with backlash and was canceled.

The plan was met with negative reactions from fans who thought it was creepy.

A holographic Whitney Houston show went ahead despite some fans being upset.

The Ozzy AI avatar will appear in interactive touchscreens in the US and UK this summer.

It will start appearing in life-sized, interactive touchscreens called Proto Luma units.

The units will allow fans to interact with the digital Ozzy in a new way.
