Tuesday Thinkers on "Voices From the Other Side" - Jan 23, 3 pm SLT

Post by Moon Adamant »

Record as many interactions as possible with an AI — answer its questions, engage in discussions, share your contacts and insights about them, share pictures and videos of things you like or with a special meaning for you, and so forth, until the AI becomes a "mental digital twin" — trained specifically to react (in voice and text) as you would react. The more you train it, the more it learns how you behave in several different situations; the closer it is able to mimic you.

And, one day, when you're not here any longer, your beloved ones can continue to talk to the digital version of your self.

Creepy? For sure. But there are many companies already offering those services. One of the more promising and well-funded ones is Mindbank AI — they're even petitioning for such digital twins to get some rights under the UDHR!

Come to the Pip Torok CC, Alpine Meadow to discuss the ethics behind this concept.
