Ozzy Osbourne AI avatar will be ‘so tasteful’, Jack Osbourne says after fan backlash

Ozzy Osbourne will be recreated as a lifelike AI avatar by Hyperreal and Proto Hologram, according to his family.
Jack Osbourne said the project will be 'so tasteful' and cited its complexity beyond a simple image.
The avatar will be able to converse with fans and respond as Ozzy would, according to Hyperreal.
Sharon Osbourne said the project would travel worldwide and fans could talk to him and hear responses.
The company described the avatar as a living performance built from authenticated, approved material.
Fans criticized the hologram project as potentially disrespectful or against Osbourne’s wishes.
Osbourne’s family highlighted consent and control over material used for the avatar.
The project follows a trend of posthumous holograms in music, like Tupac and Roy Orbison.
The project will begin appearing on interactive touchscreens in undisclosed US and UK locations later this year.
Hyperreal CEO Remington Scott emphasized the avatar draws from approved material and is a living performance.
