Fantasies of immortality and extended life preservation are likely as old as humanity itself, but new advances in robotics and advanced artificial intelligence models are inching those AdvertisementToday, companies like HereAfter and Deepbrain AI are using the same underlying tech employed for deepfakes and chatbots in order to create digital replicas of people before they die. These replicas use data and personal memories provided by the soon-to-be deceased human to create a convincing copy. Others, like those at the transhumanist group Digital Immortality Now, are similarly developing methods and protocols to properly log and collect data which they say could one day be used by an advanced superintelligence AI to digitally resurrect a deceased person.Separately, advances in shockingly life-like robotics systems hint at a future where those digital replicas could have a body they use to move around in the world. Hanson Robotics, a Hong Kong-based robot manufacturer formed in 2013 has already Here are a handful of AI and robotic companies working, in various ways, to bring people back from the dead.
