Michael Parkinson, the iconic chat show host who passed away last year, is set to return in a groundbreaking new podcast titled 'Virtually Parkinson', thanks to artificial intelligence. His son, Mike Parkinson, has endorsed this innovative project, which will feature an AI-generated voice that perfectly mimics his father's speaking style and pacing. The eight-part series aims to recreate Parkinson's relaxed interviewing technique with a mix of contemporary and familiar celebrity guests, all backed by the Parkinson family. The AI voice was developed using a vast array of data from Parkinson's extensive interview history, including notable conversations with stars like Muhammad Ali and Meg Ryan. This project, produced by Deep Fusion Films, marks a significant milestone as it is believed to be the first podcast entirely hosted by an AI presenter. The initiative has sparked discussions about the legacy of Parkinson and the use of technology in preserving the memories of beloved figures in media.
