Sharon Osbourne stated on March 14, 2024, that the AI avatar of her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, is not a "cash grab" and that she "doesn't need your fucking money." She clarified that the AI project was initiated by Ozzy himself, who expressed a desire to continue performing despite his ongoing health challenges. Osbourne emphasized that the AI is intended to allow fans to experience Ozzy's performances in a new way, rather than to generate significant revenue. She further explained that the technology is still in its early stages of development and is not yet ready for public release. The announcement of the AI avatar was made earlier in the year, sparking considerable discussion among fans and the music industry.
