The Greatest Speech Never Given

AI Abe on the 13th Amendment

Partnering with Worth Rises and leading Abraham Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer, we created an new experience: The Greatest Speech Never Given, where Lincoln speaks directly toward the 2024 presidential candidates, calling on them to act to end the exception in the 13th amendment

The Exception

1.2 million incarcerated individuals are subject to forced labor due to an exception clause in the 13th amendment. We wondered what Abraham Lincoln would have to say on the matter today.

Production & Design

The speech was written with artificial intelligence trained from Lincoln’s historical records and built using Unreal Engine motion-capture technology.
