Is Digital Reincarnation Possible ?

In 2014, Computer AI has passed the world’s first “Turing Test”. A computer program called Eugene Goostman, which simulated a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy, is said to have passed the Turing test at an event organized by the University of Reading.

The test investigated whether people can detect if they are talking to machines or humans.

It appears that the technical tools and personal data are in place to make digital reincarnations possible. Meanwhile, people in the modern world now leave behind enough data to teach AI programs about our conversational idiosyncrasies. Digital doubles may be just around the corner.

In 2017 Microsoft patented a chatbot which, if built, would digitally resurrect the dead. Using AI and machine learning, the proposed chatbot would carry our digital persona returned to existence for our household and friends to speak to. When pressed on the technology, Microsoft representatives admitted that the chatbot "disturbing", and that there have been presently no plans to put it into production.

What happens to your Data after you Die ?

At present, the answer to this complex question is still in haze. Keep in mind the complexities of creating a digital persona of a dead person, it is still unclear who should have the ultimate power to access the data and use it for digital incarnation.

 

How AI made Digital Reincarnation Possible?

AI-enabled chatbot which harvests information—including electronic messages, geolocation, motion, activity, photos, and social media data—which lets users create an avatar of themselves to live on after they die. Such a chatbot would use machine learning to respond to text messages just as you would have when you were alive. If you happen to leave behind rich voice data, that too could be used to create your vocal likeness—someone your relatives could speak with, through a phone or a humanoid robot.
