What’s a Neon?

A Neon is an artificially intelligent digital avatar that’s meant to mimic real human appearance and emotions. It’s envisioned as a highly lifelike companion that has its own personality and can converse and behave like humans. Neons can also remember and learn.

According to Neon CEO Pranav Mistry, “Neons are more like us, an independent but virtual living being, who can show emotions and learn from experiences.” According to the founder’s vision, they’re like a related — yet different — new species of life from humans.

 What Does Neon Look Like?

We have already talked about the lifelike appearance of the “artificial human” created by Samsung and STAR Labs, but the extent of the lifelikeness of Neon’s look is truly staggering. The appearance of the chatbot is generated by technology, but when you look at Neon, it’s very hard to believe it.

Even though the appearance of Neon is chosen at random, it looks so close to an actual human being that you will probably have to do a double-take to ensure it’s not a real person. However, Pranav Mistry, the CEO of STAR Labs, has pointed out that Neon can be made to look like any real-life person using complex computer algorithms.

What does a Neon do?

Right now, not much. Neon is in its early start-up phase, generating buzz and interest, as well as possible use cases when the technology matures. At CES, Neons acted mostly in a chatbot capacity, as an AI engine with a face that you can speak to — but about far more than the weather or how long it will take to drive to the mall.

Some possible scenarios include being a language tutor, concierge, personal financial adviser, receptionist, virtual counselor or healthcare provider, actor, TV anchor or spokesperson. The list goes on.

For example, you could potentially learn yoga from a Neon programmed to show you various poses and, much like a human teacher, incrementally increase the level of difficulty as you master new skills. If you wanted to become fluent in a new language, a Neon could teach it to you, as well as translate in real time when you need help.
