Digital Dubai introduced the project with the unveiling of the first member of the virtual family, ‘The Girl’, who made her debut in a short video shared across social media platforms. It said the character is designed to be warm and approachable, especially for children and families, encouraging dialogue around technology, AI, and digital services.
As part of efforts to encourage community participation, the character invited the public to help select her name from three options: ‘Dubai’, ‘Mira’, or ‘Latifa’. The project will soon introduce additional members of the virtual family, including the father, mother, and brother, forming a digital representation of an Emirati household.
