Apple Co-Founder & Tech Innovator Ronald G. Wayne Develops AI Avatar In His Likeness, Preserving Decades Of Historical Expertise
Las Vegas, Nevada (September 15, 2026) - Following successful special appearances at both the Computer History Museum's (CHM) Apple@50 celebration in March and the Vintage Computer Festival West earlier this summer, Apple Co-Founder Ronald G. Wayne is announcing his next project: the creation of an innovative AI avatar, one based on his very own likeness and built from the ground up to incorporate his decades of industry knowledge, stories, and lessons for the next generation of tech leaders.
Being developed by skilled AI coder Dominic Damoah using state-of-the-art programs, the avatar will allow users to 'speak' with Wayne, emulating his tone of voice, candor, and most importantly his detailed accounts of more than 50 years in business and technology. The AI will operate as a learning tool for those climbing the ranks of the modern tech world.
