Tech news this week includes a digital Ozzy Osbourne available for commercial licensing, a Ferrari that looks like an Apple product, and a Canadian breakthrough in early skin cancer detection.

 

HyperReal, the company behind the Tupac hologram, partnered with the Osbourne family to build an AI Ozzy that replicates his voice, mannerisms, and speech patterns. Brands can hire digital Ozzy and direct him to do whatever they want in a commercial. The line between preserving a legacy and monetizing one is the question nobody in the room seems to be asking.

 

Ferrari's first EV is a four-door sedan designed by Jony Ive. Ferrari fans are calling it an iFerrari. Canadian researchers have developed a painless micro-needle grid that places rare earth elements under the skin to detect early signs of melanoma.
