KOCHI: She looks at you with warmth, quite unexpectedly, from the screen. In her black burqa, her hands adorned with golden bangles, and with her intense eyes, Kamala Surayya — or Kamala Das — speaks in her lilting voice, inviting an astonished viewer to the Wayanad Literature Festival. The tech team of the Wayanad Lit Fest has utilised AI to recreate the beloved author. Beypore Sultan Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, poet O N V Kurup, orator and critic Sukumar Azhikode and writer-cartoonist O V Vijayan — legends who left an indelible mark on Malayalam literature and social psyche — also ‘speak’ to people once again. That’s how we arrived at the idea of using AI to bring the literary legends back,” he says.
