with Machine Learning THE DEAD MAY RETURN

Do you miss your grandmother who died a few years back?

Do you miss her so much that you wish you could talk with her once again?

Many of us have come across such thoughts, sometimes in the middle of a dark night or even under broad day light. But how many of us have believed in our wish of bringing the our loved one back from the dead?

What if someday you log into your Facebook account and find out that a deceased friend of yours has send you a ‘Good Morning’ text? Will you reply? Or will you shut down your computer and quit the social media? Sounds spooky, right?

Bringing Back the Dead

Currently, the researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Ryerson University are working together to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in order to bridge the gap between life and after-life. According to Dr. Hossein Rahnama, a member at the MIT Media Lab, even after a person dies, his personality, opinions and thoughts will continue to survive in the digital world.

ALGORITHMS ARE IMMORTAL

According to the researchers, Machine Learning can be applied to the data we produce everyday and transfer these thoughts to a computer. In turn, these data fed computers will act as our virtual entity; being able to talk like us, replicating our beliefs and eventually surviving our demise.

It is estimated that these algorithms will be able to share posts on

social media just as if we do or prefer to do.

COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEAD

What makes it a more interesting concept is that our digital entities will be able to communicate with the world in the exact same way as we do, and more importantly, it will learn new things that will add to the knowledge of our digital immortal entity.

Again, the reading habits of the virtual identity will depend on

what are our preferences when we are alive.

Scientists are developing systems that will analyse huge data consisting of the works of the eminent historical personalities. Such an experiment, if succeeds, will allow the ordinary people to communicate with the dead legends. For instance, you may ask the digital identity of Albert Einstein about his thoughts on alien life.

Again, since the system will be data driven, sometimes the answers may repeat itself depending on the questions asked.

THE WAIT IS NOT OVER YET!

Although, significant improvements are being made in the field of AI and Machine Learning, researchers think that such a scenario of digitising a dead person may not be implemented before 2045-2050.

The reason behind this is that the past generation did not have enough scope of digital communication, which restricts the amount of data available to feed computers in order to replicate a digitised version of them.

Today’s modern era is witnessing a significant technological revolution. The amount of data available today will make it easier to preserve our identity in the digital world, which will live forever (literally).
