Would you like to be granted eternal life? Right now, science can’t grant you that wish, but what about talking to your deceased relatives or friends? That’s almost like living forever. Recently, Microsoft has patented a technology that can create a digital copy of a specific person, even if they are no longer alive. At least that’s what the developers, Dustin Abramson and Joseph Johnson, stated in the patent application titled “Creating a Conversational Chatbot of a Specific Person.”
Bill Gates’s corporation intends to improve their voice chatbots that use pictures of people, recordings of their voices, and their social network patterns to create voice chatbots that accurately convey the communication style of people who are no longer with us. In some cases, the technology will even generate new 2D and 3D images of a person in addition to using their voice. Of course, this can be done only if there are enough photos and video materials in the first place. To upload information about a person, you can use mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) or regular computers.
