Microsoft patented technology that allows you to talk with deceased people in the chat

It is reported that Microsoft has patented AI technology that allows you to create chat avatars of dead people based on data collected about them, such as images, voice data, messages on social networks, emails and more. All this will help artificial intelligence to fairly accurately simulate a real person.

The most curious thing is that the Redmond corporation, apparently, got the idea for its development from the TV series "Black Mirror". The patent even describes a technology for creating two- or three-dimensional models of a particular person based on the image and video. If Microsoft can bring the patent to life, the technology could be used for less creepy purposes than building chatbots for dead relatives. For example, researchers can upload historical personality data to the system for educational use.

It is worth recalling that Microsoft has a rather interesting history of relationships with chatbots. Earlier, when Microsoft released an AI-powered character named Tai, netizens quickly taught him how to spread abusive and racist messages, which forced him to be terminated.
