Microsoft's new patent exposure: using personal information to create a robot to achieve the digital resurrection of the dead

Resurrecting the deceased sounds very mysterious, but with the advancement of technology, scientists will use another special method to "resurrect" the deceased.

According to media reports, Microsoft recently obtained a new patent approval that can use the personal information of the deceased to create an AI chatbot to realize the digital "resurrection" of the deceased.

It is reported that the patent mainly collects personal information such as images, voice data, social media, and electronic information of the deceased to realize the digital "resurrection" of the deceased. People can simulate the dialogue with the deceased through voice commands or text chat.

Relying on this technology, Microsoft also proposes to further create specific 2D or 3D models, using depth information such as images and videos, and digitally output a robot with the same characteristics and behaviors.

And this AI chat robot can be set to anyone, such as relatives and friends, celebrities, fictional characters, historical figures, etc. People can also use this technology to create a robot that can replace themselves.

In fact, as early as last year's Baidu World Conference, Baidu released an AI virtual person. In addition to traveling through time and meeting the self, it will also be able to communicate with the virtual person of the dead relatives in the future.

Li Yanhong said that artificial intelligence technology can make people live forever, and the human body disappears, but the thoughts and various experiences will always exist, and they can interact with people in the future.

In addition, in February last year, the documentary channel of the South Korean MBC TV station used VR technology to enable a mother to "reunite" with her daughter who died of leukemia three years ago.

During the VR interaction, the mother "re-sees" the deceased daughter through VR glasses, and can also perceive her child's hair and hold her child's hand through tactile gloves.
