Through the looking glass: AI in 2025

Filmmaker 'revives' late mother

69-year-old filmmaker Tony Cane-Honeysett used AI to create a documentary about his late mother Mary, a decade after her 2016 death.

He cloned her voice to narrate her unpublished memoir (1928–1949 London life) and animated old photos, with the YouTube film emerging amid debates over AI in the arts.

While AI scenes show technical limits (e.g., malformed cars), Cane-Honeysett calls AI a "game-changing" tool to preserve personal history, in a report from The London Telegraph. He believes AI is "unstoppable" and lets him connect deeper with his mother.
