SEOUL – Her face is a deepfake. Her body belongs to a team of similar-sized actors. But she sings, reads the news and sells luxury clothes on TV, as artificial intelligence humans go mainstream in South Korea.

But Pulse9 says this is only the beginning. They are “working on developing the technology to broaden AI human use”, Ms Park Ji-eun, the company’s chief executive, told AFP.
