Samsung has been teasing its NEON project for a few days now, and we finally have some idea of what it’s about: AI-powered digital avatars that look like humans.

It’s actually an effort by STAR Labs, an experimental subsidiary of the Korean giant led by scientist and inventor Pranav Mistry. From what I can make of the vague press release and FAQ, the idea is to create software-based ‘artificial humans’ (called NEONs) that you can communicate and interact with, just as you would with a real person.
