NEW YORK — Staying in touch with a loved one after their death is the promise of several start-ups using the powers of artificial intelligence (AI), though not without raising ethical questions.
Ms Ryu Sun-yun sits in front of a microphone and a giant screen, where her husband, who died a few months earlier, appears.
"We don't create new content", such as sentences that the deceased would have never uttered or at least written and validated during their lifetime, said Mr Joseph Murphy, head of development at DeepBrain AI, about the"Rememory" program.The idea is the same for the company StoryFile, which uses 92-year-old"Star Trek" actor William Shatner to market its site.
The message posted on Twitter set off a storm, to the point where, a few days later, he denied being"a ghoul"."It's a very fine ethical area that we're taking with great care," Mr Smith said. But despite the Roman precedent, Replika"is not a platform made to recreate a lost loved one", said a spokeswoman.Somnium Space, based in London, wants to create virtual clones while users are still alive so that they then can exist in a parallel universe after their death.
Thanks to generative AI, the technology is there to allow avatars of departed loved ones to say things they never said when they were alive.
