A company has announced its intention to resurrect the dead by storing their memories and using hokey intelligence to retort them to life-time . In the future tense , of course .
Yeaaaaaah . What ?
The company is calledHumai , and at the moment , it is pretty sparse on particular – and we ’re still not certain it ’s not a selling ploy or a hoax . At any charge per unit , the society says they desire to lay in the “ conversational vogue , behavioral pattern , thought cognitive process and information about how your body social function from the interior - out ” on a silicon chip using AI and nanotechnology , concord to their website .
This data would then be “ coded into multiple sensing element technologies , which will be built into an artificial body with the brain of a deceased human . ” Their words , not ours .
In an consultation withPopSci , Humai CEO and founding father Josh Bocanegra said they “ believe we can uprise the first human within 30 eld . ” He also elaborated on the cognitive operation , saying they would use cryonics applied science to freeze out and store a brain after destruction , save it good until the applied science is ready to insert it into an artificial body .
Quite what these artificial consistency will be is unknown , while the logistics of copy someone ’s stash away neuronal information is plainly very much science fiction at the moment . The company seems surefooted though , even go so far as to hint that death could one day be optional with their method .
Speaking toIEET , Bocanegra add together that while other AI companies are attempting to make virtual versions of people after they die , his was the first to actually bring people back to life . “ I do n’t think gravestone , photos , videos , or even our own memories are the best way to remember someone who has eliminate , ” he said . “ Instead , I think an artificially intelligent version of your love one , whom you may interact with via text and voice , is more desirable . ”
This is definitely one company you ’ll need to keep an eye on over the next few twelvemonth to see if they make any important progress towards their rather lofty end . Or if it ’s simply an advert for a sequel to Spielberg ’s " AI . "
