Can we define reality in an era of digital influencers?
In short: In this TED talk, talent manager Sara Giusto explores the implications of virtual humans. Featuring the digital influencer imma, the presentation examines how these non-human entities are reshaping our understanding of what is real.
Recorded at TED2024 on April 17, 2024, the talk investigates the rise of virtual humans and their impact on the physical world. Giusto uses the example of her client, imma—a pink-haired influencer who is not human—to pose a fundamental question about authenticity in an increasingly digital landscape.
