"Resurrection" through artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is giving people new ways to remember their loved ones who have died. Voice of America correspondent Maxim Moskalkov reports how efforts are underway to create a virtual copy of a dead person using data collected from social media.

Some new tech companies are using artificial intelligence to make it possible for people to feel like they still have a loved one who has died. The so-called "artificial intelligence of the resurrection" relies on the creation of automatic communication programs (chat bots), or a virtual copy, based on the data in the social media of the deceased person - images, voice, messages sent by phone or by e-mail.

Michael Jung works with the company "DeepBrain AI" that creates these virtual duplicates.

"Let's say we want to create a copy of you. Then we go to the studio, film, read 300-500 sentences in front of the camera. So we already have this source of original footage. And then we work for a month to prepare the program. After a month of acquiring the material from the program, we create your likeness,"  says Mr. Jung.

Stephen Smith has founded the technology company "StoryFile". In the picture is not really Mr. Smith, but his likeness.

“Think of it as a living photo album. What we are doing is using artificial intelligence to support the person, who, like an ancestor, passes on his memories to us; as it could have done in other forms,"  ??says Mr. Smith.

Digital resurgence is a complicated concept, says Irina Raicu of Santa Clara University's Internet Ethics Program.

“In a way, the feeling of being able to keep the technological version of our loved ones alive is somewhat akin to embalming. "Instead of embalming someone's body to try to keep them with us, we're trying to embalm the person's mind,"  she says.

Like many other new technologies, artificial intelligence for "resurrection" has created new questions as its great potential continues to be explored./ VOA
