🤖 Creating your own avatar—not just a still picture but also generating an on-demand, real-time video avatar—is no longer science fiction. It’s reality and is becoming increasingly mainstream.

⚖️ New technology always comes with challenges and responsibilities. Challenges to understand how to use it, grasp what’s possible, and recognize the limits. Responsibilities involve using the technology in a responsible fashion.

🎬 This weekend I watched another part of the Star Wars saga. Jedi use holographic technology for communication, providing them with a convenient way to communicate long-distance and discuss/decide in hybrid setups. Yet they still travel extensively, and you can see them bond when in the same location—actually making efforts to travel for this purpose.

🤔 How will we adopt this technology? I’m contemplating when I would send my avatar versus when I would show up in person. What signal am I sending when I choose my avatar instead of traveling to appear myself? Sustainability versus honoring the other person. Efficiency versus empathy.

💼 What would my team say if I delegate my team meeting to my avatar? Perhaps running a customer workshop gets delegated to my avatar too?

❤️ In my view, empathy beats efficiency. Especially if an interaction isn’t “just” about knowledge sharing but about empowering and motivating others and building trust.
