The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is introducing a digital avatar “Victoria Shi”, equipped with artificial intelligence, to comment on consular issues.
A new way to interact with society
The prototype of the avatar was the famous Ukrainian singer and influencer Rosalie Nombre. Using cutting-edge technology, the team at The Game Changers and Nazovni Tech digitized Nombre's video to create a digital representative of the MFA.
The avatar's messages will be published on the official resources of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including the website and social networks. There are also plans to share information with the press to ensure broad access to consular comments.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmitry Kuleba, emphasized that the use of a digital avatar will help save time and resources, which will allow diplomats to focus on other tasks.
Protection against counterfeiting and fraud
The technology includes many levels of protection against digital counterfeits, including QR codes on the original video recordings, which provide access to the text version of the commentary on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Ministry emphasizes that the digital avatar is not intended to replace the speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, but serves as an additional tool for effective interaction with society.
Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, in collaboration with the WhiteBIT exchange, launched a chat bot for consular support of citizens. The new step in the use of digital technologies underscores the department's commitment to modern forms of communication and service.
