Dex, DJ and Influencer, Sum Vivas: Hi, hello everyone. I am Dex, the UK's first AI integrated digital human.
Denis Harr, Co-Founder and CCO, Sum Vivas: In the performance space, it's game changing. The DJ that I manage, Dex, in the last two weeks has performed in New York, Paris and Milan.

Rob Sims, Co-Founder and CCO, Sum Vivas: 5Utilising digital humans integrated with AI helps to bridge the gap between technology and people. They're available 624/7, 365. They don't take holidays. They have the ability to be 7multilingual and they learn and remember every conversation.
CNN Correpondent: But should we be worried about AI's 8integration into the world of work?
Jennifer Ding, Senior Researcher, The Alan Turing Institute: We do see the dreams that have taken over the headlines past year. The 9generative AIs, the chatbots, the 10LLMs, all kinds of applications are 11emerging. But 12alongside, I think there is this fear of skills 13replacement. So when we 14rely on automated tools, what skills are we losing in the process.
Rob Sims: AI is absolutely not scary. It is part of our future. We're moving to a stage where digital humans will start to become just another member of the team with added benefits for that team and obviously the customers they serve.
CNN Anchor: Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. Did you know that today is the International Day of Happiness? Back in 2012, the UN General Assembly marked this day to recognize the importance of happiness and well-being. 15Meditation can be a key to being happy. According to the Center for Healthy Minds, a study showed that two weeks of daily meditation for 30 minutes a day can help bring more positivity to the brain. Now, maybe this sounds impossible to you, but Dan Harris, who's the author of the book 10% Happier, explains why anyone can 16embracemeditation, even if their mind at times seems like a 17cacophony of thoughts and sounds.
Dan Harris, Author and Host of the ¡®Ten Percent Happier¡¯ podcast: The whole goal of meditation is just to pick one thing to focus on usually it's the feeling of your breath coming in and going out and then every time you 18get distracted which will happen a million times you just start again and again and again and this noticing the 19distraction and starting again this is like a 20bicep curl for your brain and it's what shows up on the brain scans of people who meditate and so getting distracted is not proof that you're failing. It's proof that you're doing it correctly. Why? Because the whole goal of this practice is to get more familiar with the wildness of your mind so that it doesn't own you as much.
