"The future of influence is here: a digital avatar that captivates millions of
adoring fans while offering unparalleled customisation and round-the-clock
availability.
Virtual influencers are transforming the way content is created, consumed and
marketed online. They represent an electrifying dance between cutting-edge
technology and our desire for connection. But, at the same time, they are yet
another product being peddled by marketers that want our money.
Upon close inspection, we can see the risks that emerge with these blurred
realities."
