CNN —A fashion show that features elderly people as models is a rarity. One with elderly Black African models is even rarer. While the images look like photographs of a genuine event, they were entirely generated by artificial intelligence (AI). He produced series two and three of Netflix show “Made By Design,” as well as a biopic docudrama on Nigerian designer Nike Davies-Okundaye. His other AI projects include creating a virtual futuristic city called “Ngochola,” populated by people who are heroic, beautiful and African.

Courtesy of Malik Afegbua/Handout via REUTERSLAGOS, Jan 30 (Reuters) - A Nigerian artist is using artificial intelligence to re-imagine life for African elderly people by showcasing near real-life pictures and videos of them walking down the fashion ramp and on the beach. Malik Afegbua, who is also a film maker, said because many elderly people were marginalised in society, especially in the fashion world, he began to imagine how they would look if they were models. He said the idea to explore a different world for old people came when his elderly mother fell ill. Using an artificial intelligence app, he started creating content showing a brighter side of old age.
