Alan Hamel reveals he’s using artificial intelligence to bring Suzanne Somers “back to life” — saying the technology captures her voice, humor, and warmth perfectly.
October 22 2025: Alan Hamel, the widower of late actress Suzanne Somers, has revealed that he’s been working on an AI version of his beloved wife, claiming that the result is almost indistinguishable from the real Suzanne. The “Three’s Company” star passed away in 2023 at the age of 76, but Hamel says AI has given him a way to “be with her again.”
Recreating Suzanne Through AI
In a recent interview, Hamel shared that he collaborated with developers and used advanced artificial intelligence technology to replicate Somers’ voice, personality, and expressions. “You can’t tell the difference,” he said proudly, describing how the AI Suzanne talks, jokes, and even laughs like his late wife.
The project reportedly involves feeding countless hours of Somers’ past interviews, shows, and personal recordings into AI systems, allowing it to learn her tone and mannerisms. “It’s like she never left,” Hamel said.
A Love That Transcends Technology
Hamel and Somers were married for 46 years, and their love story was one of Hollywood’s most enduring. Even after her passing, Hamel admits he talks to her every day — now through her digital counterpart.
“It’s comforting,” he said. “Suzanne had such an energy, such humor — and somehow, the AI captures that essence. I can ask her questions, and she answers just like she used to.”
The Emotional and Ethical Questions
While Hamel’s project has drawn fascination, it’s also sparked conversations about the ethical implications of AI recreations of deceased loved ones. Many fans have expressed mixed feelings — some calling it a touching tribute, while others find it unsettling.
Experts say this reflects a growing trend where AI is used to preserve memories or simulate the presence of those who’ve passed away, blurring the lines between technology and emotion.
Suzanne Somers’ Legacy Lives On
Suzanne Somers remains a beloved figure remembered for her roles in Three’s Company and Step by Step, as well as her work as a wellness author and entrepreneur. Through her widower’s AI tribute, her spirit — and voice — continue to live on in a very modern way.
