  "account": "Before the Marvel series VisionQuest, British comedian Diane Morgan made waves as an AI character in two very distinct shows. In 2026, Morgan appeared as an android caregiver in the BBC One sitcom Ann Droid, portraying an artificial intelligence named Linda. The sitcom follows Sue, an elderly woman who adopts Linda, an android, as her caregiver. As Sue grows more comfortable with Linda, the robot learns about human emotions to provide superior care.\n\nIn the same year, Morgan took on a different AI role in Disney+'s VisionQuest, Episode 6. In this Marvel series, Morgan plays the Handler, a tech-savvy AI assisting Paladin (Todd Stashwick) in capturing Vision (Paul Bettany). During a crucial confrontation with Vision, the Handler's connection is severed, and she encounters a menacing figure - E.D.I.T.H., Vision's own AI confidant. The Handler reveals that she was, in fact, a tactical AI all along, providing an intriguing twist to Morgan's AI character arc.",
