Imagine listening to brand new songs performed by popular 1970s Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng, who passed away in 1995. Well, this is fast becoming a reality thanks to global visual effects company Digital Domain, that’s been investing in AI-powered humans “to sound and look like real people” for a decade now.

Digital Domain, founded by Hollywood director James Cameron 30 years ago and now run by Malaysian-born Daniel Seah, has been involved in providing visual effects to many Hollywood blockbusters including Titanic, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe titles such as The Avengers franchise.
