AI has shown that it’s going to have a huge influence on every industry in the years ahead, and many of its use cases will lead to huge leaps forward. One thing that AI could revolutionize is online hosting, with greater personalization for different individuals.
There are many places online now that have human hosts, but some of these could be replaced with digitalized AI versions. These could benefit various industries, but many users may still seek out human connection in their online experiences.

AI Hosts Could Replicate Real Humans
In the 2023 Black Mirror episode, Joan is Awful, the writers introduced the concept of celebrities signing off on their likeness to be used by AI companies in hyper-personalized content.
The idea was that these celebrities could then be used in an infinite number of series that were adapted to individual viewers. As with many developments dreamed up by Black Mirror, this one looks like it could become a reality in the future.
There have already been some groundbreaking leaps forward in AI development, with faked videos of real humans appearing more realistic than ever. There are also AI hosts that are designed to look like real humans, replicating mannerisms and speech patterns.
As AI develops, it may be able to perfectly capture real humans and then make countless copies of them. These could then be used as hosts for online content that specifically targets individual users.
What Industries Could Benefit From AI Hosts?
There are many industries that could benefit from AI hosts that bring tailored content to their users. For instance, something like this could potentially be integrated into the online casino industry, which tends to adapt well to technological advancements when they come about.
Some of the most popular casino games are live streamed offerings like All Bets Blackjack and Super Speed Baccarat. These come with human hosts that present the games to a multitude of players. AI hosts could come in here and have these same hosts run personalized versions for different users.
The ecommerce sector is another place in which AI hosts could have a massive impact. Live streaming is just starting to gain traction on sites like Amazon, with shoppers able to ask questions about products and make purchases within streams. With AI hosts, these companies can zero in on each customer and show them the products that they are most interested in seeing.
People May Still Desire Human Connection
Even though there’s a lot of potential for AI hosts to transform several industries, their integration isn’t guaranteed. They may come in to serve people who like this type of personalization, but they are unlikely to replace human hosts completely.
That’s because people still have a desire to connect with other real people, and to enjoy the community experience that comes with that. Indeed, some experts expect content that involves real people to be even more successful in the AI age.
AI is getting closer to a situation in which it will be able to recreate people in a digital form and offer bespoke hosts to individuals online. Whether this idea takes off is another question, though. There’s a chance that people won’t warm to it, and will choose to stick to real, non-AI hosts.
