Jan Van Riebeeck
Commander, Surgeon, and Merchant in Cape Town, South Africa
A bespoke artificial intelligence recreation of the personality of Jan van Riebeeck based on the historic archives of the VOC in the Netherlands, Indonesia, and South Africa.
The digital persona was developed in collaboration with physiologists, historians, behavioral scientists and engineers specialising in deep learning and artificial intelligence.
Jan is currently operating in a tethered semi-autonomous mode to complete the character anchoring phase. Social media interaction is therefore limited at present.
