Lao Tzu in the Age of AI: SenseTime Launches Digital Philosopher at Hangu Pass
SenseTime launched China’s first digital avatar of ancient philosopher Lao Tzu at Henan’s Hangu Pass, a historic Taoism site, using 3D modeling with 2 million polygons and a micro-expression system reflecting philosophical nuances. The AI-driven avatar, trained on 100,000+ analyses of the *Tao Te Ching*, engaged in live dialogue, responding to queries about Lao Tzu’s legacy. The project merges cultural preservation with generative AI, positioning the technology as a tool for education and virtual tourism while exploring ancient wisdom’s modern relevance in the algorithmic era.
