"Reviving Loved Ones: How AI is Facilitating Conversations with Deceased Relatives"
People are using artificial intelligence (AI) to recreate and interact with their deceased loved ones. Inventor Ray Kurzweil has been attempting to bring back his father using AI for over a decade, and hopes to eventually resurrect him physically using nanotechnology and DNA. Others, like Joshua Barbeau and James Vlahos, have created AI versions of their deceased fiancé and father, respectively. These AI chatbots allow for conversations and interactions with the deceased, providing a sense of connection and remembrance. As AI technology advances, services like these may become more common, raising ethical questions about the use of AI to bring back loved ones.
