TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — An artificial intelligence character named “Dai Yi Wan” (戴怡宛), which was

created for a competition by a group of talented Taiwanese, seeks to drive home the message that “Taiwan (Dai Yi Wan) can help.”

The virtual character was born from AI technologies that blended the facial features of 10,000 Taiwanese of both sexes, her creators, 2Cities St (雙城街), said in the introduction video. The video is an entry in a creativity contest, the winners of which will represent Taiwan at the Young Lions Competitions to be held in Cannes, France, in June of next year.

Interestingly, some of the faces selected for the composite are those of prominent politicians, including presidential candidates Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party and Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) of the opposition Kuomintang (KMT), reported Liberty Times.
