To produce for us, a living history of that day, that speech and for a moment bask in whatever emotion might have been. Remembrance is a contact sport, not merely the memorisation of dates, names and places.

With a solid moral compass, projects like this can bring to life moments that most grade schoolers are happy to forget.

The AI simply helps an actor better impersonate a historical figures' known voice reading a known transcript. Should we not have actors recreate historical events? Is it bad to have an actor/impersonator read Abraham Lincoln's speech transcripts?

Do you have plans to take this same approach to other historical figures or historical speeches?

If you could bring any speech in history back to life like this (even if it isn't technologically possible), what would you choose?
