Ozzy Osbourne’s Son Jack Osbourne Defends Plans to Create AI Avatar of Late Rocker

As Sharon explained at the May 20 event, per Rolling Stone, “You can ask Ozzy anything, and he will answer you in his own voice—and the answers will be what Ozzy would have said. People can talk to him and he will talk back.”

And, according to his family, the digitized Ozzy is eerily similar to the original.

“It’s kind of scary how it’s really very accurate,” Jack said alongside his mother. “He will exist digitally as himself for as long as we have computers.”

As for how AI Ozzy came about, Hyperreal CEO Remington Scott explained its patented technology will allow the avatar to interact in real time with fans. 

“This isn’t pre-rendered content playing on a loop,” he told Rolling Stone. “It’s a living performance, built exclusively from authenticated source material: curated, consented, and controlled by the people closest to Ozzy.”

But after some fans expressed concern as to whether or not the late Ozzy would approve of the technological endeavor, Jack sought to put them at ease.

“It’s something that I think my dad would be into,” he added during the YouTube livestream, “because we actually talked about it be before he passed about doing something like this. So, yeah, I know he would be into this.”

As he put it, “It’s awesome.”
