3 Interactive Discussion: "Let's Talk" with Alan Turing ~20 min

The Illustrated Avatar: Alan Turing Joins the Zoom
Using ChatGPT (audio mode) and a dedicated computer to create a virtual presence of Turing himself with voice control flow
Meta-Conversation: "Conversing with Alan Turing about Alan Turing"
The avatar engages in real-time discussion about his own work and legacy: Understanding the Convergence of Human and Artificial Intelligence
Interactive Element: The audience can directly question "Alan Turing" about his work, with the AI avatar responding in character based on his writings and historical context.
Technical Setup: A separate computer running ChatGPT in audio mode creates an independent "Alan Turing" participant in the Zoom call, allowing for dynamic interaction between presenter, audience, and the historical figure himself.
