As part of our new Companions series, Digital Einstein, among other digital humans, can communicate with people in a way that comes most naturally \u2013 using conversation, human expressions, and emotional responses to best provide daily interactions that we hope make a difference in people&#8217;s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As more and more people struggle with loneliness due to isolation from family, friends and colleagues in the wake of COVID-19, UneeQ\u2019s AI-powered Companions serve as ambassadors capable of recreating human compassion and emotional connections at an infinite scale.<\/p>\n<p>While UneeQ Companions are not designed to replace human engagement, digital humans are able to augment human interaction, particularly in today\u2019s disconnected and touch-free world. In some studies, digital humans have been found to negate people\u2019s concerns around judgment, shame or guilt \u2013 emotional roadblocks that deter many from confiding and trusting fundamental human interactions. UneeQ Companions help bridge that gap through tone of voice and human-like expressions that allow the digital human to show sympathy, warmth, excitement, friendliness and empathy.<\/p>\n<p>Einstein\u2019s likeness, and rights to his research were provided by The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Greenlight, a subsidiary of BEN Group Inc. and a global rights clearance and licensing business who works to ensure Einstein\u2019s legacy and research have a lasting impact on society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlbert Einstein, a founding father of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is considered one of the greatest scientists of all time. His work is the basis for our understanding of the universe and its development. We were delighted to work with UneeQ on this groundbreaking project, knowing that Einstein\u2019s legacy continues to educate and guide the minds of tomorrow through interactive AI technology,\u201d said Yishai M. Fraenkel, Vice President and Director General, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether it\u2019s one of the most influential minds in the world or a modern-day influencer, progressive companies are leveraging today\u2019s digital channels to connect global brands with consumers through the power of next-generation technology, including digital humans,\u201d said Ricky Butler, CEO of BEN. Butler continues, \u201cWe are honored to play a role in the impact Digital Einstein, among other virtual influencers, will have on society\u2019s mental health problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This project has been made possible with the help of several talented companies including\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/click.agilitypr.delivery\/ls\/click?upn=BISmYJYGOIYprYA0xXdPmY-2BvarFdwoL38VY789tM32Ta8AZeVnKm8NY11RvnCsKvIrV-_Zd6hRd3O-2Bi7TiTmhDOob5pPPZ0OVFaTn4uQIf72tEzMtu0UFWlHx2-2F2dqS9KAsGO4998JF8dLFnoOyi3MVvqr-2BaBmpqcHjHUTn6K6IE0OsnoiJcmydMrmsfmlKkV9soo-2BlUy7U2ES03mur48hLMpNEWIIbwv5QWSyRk-2ByUtrs-2F9Xp7Y-2BNIv28zW7PrUrFY18WTS6sk7kkJhD6TTDX4YM7vGhKLeSArqNrxdVB7s8LJsXLlKUByjv6-2FxrW3SpKlRL-2BrF3DQnAfQOMBZM6acNFeYwpn1bAycnC3D-2FbSg1tyvP6Fgo6EX4aSMcCge7PjIGJPw6wb48mE1rdKVQ0xrf1zyKAZ2-2BVhESTrMcTmoHxRKuGEL3JLHD5CF7ZSOVMXfEECMjdnmbDP89k8NsbmHEN4Q-3D-3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/click.agilitypr.delivery\/ls\/click?upn%3DBISmYJYGOIYprYA0xXdPmY-2BvarFdwoL38VY789tM32Ta8AZeVnKm8NY11RvnCsKvIrV-_Zd6hRd3O-2Bi7TiTmhDOob5pPPZ0OVFaTn4uQIf72tEzMtu0UFWlHx2-2F2dqS9KAsGO4998JF8dLFnoOyi3MVvqr-2BaBmpqcHjHUTn6K6IE0OsnoiJcmydMrmsfmlKkV9soo-2BlUy7U2ES03mur48hLMpNEWIIbwv5QWSyRk-2ByUtrs-2F9Xp7Y-2BNIv28zW7PrUrFY18WTS6sk7kkJhD6TTDX4YM7vGhKLeSArqNrxdVB7s8LJsXLlKUByjv6-2FxrW3SpKlRL-2BrF3DQnAfQOMBZM6acNFeYwpn1bAycnC3D-2FbSg1tyvP6Fgo6EX4aSMcCge7PjIGJPw6wb48mE1rdKVQ0xrf1zyKAZ2-2BVhESTrMcTmoHxRKuGEL3JLHD5CF7ZSOVMXfEECMjdnmbDP89k8NsbmHEN4Q-3D-3D&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618500941033000&amp;usg=AFQjCNElSWcs-cZ_WPJpOqssiVBX1e2tnw\">Aflorithmic<\/a>\u00a0(Digital Einstein&#8217;s voice),\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/click.agilitypr.delivery\/ls\/click?upn=BISmYJYGOIYprYA0xXdPmZC0vhTLUd-2FvEYzTTX6RTXCVVbPhEQZP-2BDS6PK92-2F1Bu7ZU6_Zd6hRd3O-2Bi7TiTmhDOob5pPPZ0OVFaTn4uQIf72tEzMtu0UFWlHx2-2F2dqS9KAsGO4998JF8dLFnoOyi3MVvqr-2BaBmpqcHjHUTn6K6IE0OsnoiJcmydMrmsfmlKkV9soo-2BlUy7U2ES03mur48hLMpNEWIIbwv5QWSyRk-2ByUtrs-2F9Xp7Y-2BNIv28zW7PrUrFY18WTS6sk7kkJhD6TTDX4YM7vGhKLeSArqNrxdVB7s8LJsHH-2FHmWp3hX-2B15Kcqb2lsK8CNpX99O-2B6yGNzmZedre26PPQ3z1hmbenPKa9nMlrV49mo-2BoQxOo4XCiAgMGUP1OLGvw2F4Hubeqxub4-2FEWq-2FZyrBMV-2BmNre7SrZy5nrSrY0tPBzPp1UdjKtpyIFRqOLso0xIPqACC1U-2BaB-2B6LBv3w-3D-3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/click.agilitypr.delivery\/ls\/click?upn%3DBISmYJYGOIYprYA0xXdPmZC0vhTLUd-2FvEYzTTX6RTXCVVbPhEQZP-2BDS6PK92-2F1Bu7ZU6_Zd6hRd3O-2Bi7TiTmhDOob5pPPZ0OVFaTn4uQIf72tEzMtu0UFWlHx2-2F2dqS9KAsGO4998JF8dLFnoOyi3MVvqr-2BaBmpqcHjHUTn6K6IE0OsnoiJcmydMrmsfmlKkV9soo-2BlUy7U2ES03mur48hLMpNEWIIbwv5QWSyRk-2ByUtrs-2F9Xp7Y-2BNIv28zW7PrUrFY18WTS6sk7kkJhD6TTDX4YM7vGhKLeSArqNrxdVB7s8LJsHH-2FHmWp3hX-2B15Kcqb2lsK8CNpX99O-2B6yGNzmZedre26PPQ3z1hmbenPKa9nMlrV49mo-2BoQxOo4XCiAgMGUP1OLGvw2F4Hubeqxub4-2FEWq-2FZyrBMV-2BmNre7SrZy5nrSrY0tPBzPp1UdjKtpyIFRqOLso0xIPqACC1U-2BaB-2B6LBv3w-3D-3D&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618500941034000&amp;usg=AFQjCNE-2U6hElXVFJJ470LqHx7vm5WyAQ\">Goodbye Kansas Studios<\/a>\u00a0(Digital Einstein artist rendering), and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/click.agilitypr.delivery\/ls\/click?upn=BISmYJYGOIYprYA0xXdPma0WQwPgvTnHvxPKwFBXBzvX8zFwzStkevBqzJ67m4cln_yQ_Zd6hRd3O-2Bi7TiTmhDOob5pPPZ0OVFaTn4uQIf72tEzMtu0UFWlHx2-2F2dqS9KAsGO4998JF8dLFnoOyi3MVvqr-2BaBmpqcHjHUTn6K6IE0OsnoiJcmydMrmsfmlKkV9soo-2BlUy7U2ES03mur48hLMpNEWIIbwv5QWSyRk-2ByUtrs-2F9Xp7Y-2BNIv28zW7PrUrFY18WTS6sk7kkJhD6TTDX4YM7vGhKLeSArqNrxdVB7s8LJv5-2FtDwKSp1Fr0-2B-2FyTfim6rF7Ioxt-2B-2BuOJIeMW4m3RjA1IhDodfx7A11LirTR8Z3B79nyuIe-2F4-2FZIwwd7JOI-2BPFT5n-2FkZxGstRGZvXT78a-2FYF-2F-2FabXlNh43Ud5Dzi0x1jZOpUqKzSMmpHbmaZRGCKY1PkOQT5qQBnCbYM-2Bzt84NDg-3D-3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/click.agilitypr.delivery\/ls\/click?upn%3DBISmYJYGOIYprYA0xXdPma0WQwPgvTnHvxPKwFBXBzvX8zFwzStkevBqzJ67m4cln_yQ_Zd6hRd3O-2Bi7TiTmhDOob5pPPZ0OVFaTn4uQIf72tEzMtu0UFWlHx2-2F2dqS9KAsGO4998JF8dLFnoOyi3MVvqr-2BaBmpqcHjHUTn6K6IE0OsnoiJcmydMrmsfmlKkV9soo-2BlUy7U2ES03mur48hLMpNEWIIbwv5QWSyRk-2ByUtrs-2F9Xp7Y-2BNIv28zW7PrUrFY18WTS6sk7kkJhD6TTDX4YM7vGhKLeSArqNrxdVB7s8LJv5-2FtDwKSp1Fr0-2B-2FyTfim6rF7Ioxt-2B-2BuOJIeMW4m3RjA1IhDodfx7A11LirTR8Z3B79nyuIe-2F4-2FZIwwd7JOI-2BPFT5n-2FkZxGstRGZvXT78a-2FYF-2F-2FabXlNh43Ud5Dzi0x1jZOpUqKzSMmpHbmaZRGCKY1PkOQT5qQBnCbYM-2Bzt84NDg-3D-3D&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618500941034000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGlQ0ItGcyi-X6x6bSClox1qAgN9w\">WolframAlpha<\/a>\u00a0(Digital Einstein\u2019s intellectual responses).<\/p>\n<p>This shared experience of Digital Einstein is available on UneeQ\u2019s website,\u00a0speak with him today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUSTIN, Texas \u2013 April 14, 2021 \u2013\u00a0UneeQ, a United States and New Zealand-based digital human company, today announces the launch of Digital Einstein, part of UneeQ\u2019s new Companions series.
