An Australia-based wedding videography company shared the video on its Instagram page. “When your best man from above gives a speech on your wedding day. Thanks to AI, which made this possible. In an incredibly touching moment, a best man who passed away too soon still got to share his words at his best friend’s wedding, thanks to a little help from AI. After losing him to illness, his mom made sure he could still be part of the big day. Check out this special speech and see how technology helped keep his memory alive in the most beautiful way,” reads the caption posted along with the video.
