New Microsoft Patent Could Create AI Chatbots For Dead People
The patent also allows users to create chatbots for themselves, for whatever reason.
Microsoft has been given the green light on a new patent that allows the company to revive dead people by turning their digital and real-life footprints into artificial intelligence chatbots.
According to the patent which was filed on December 1, 2020 the tech allows Microsoft to cull images, voice data, social media posts, electronic messages, and more personal information to create a digital profile of someone to build a chatbot of them. While the most obvious application is to make a chatbot using the personal information of deceased people, the patent notes that it could also correspond to a past or present entity (or a version thereof), such as a friend, a relative, an acquaintance, a celebrity, a fictional character, a historical figure, a random entity, etc. The tech could even be used to create an AI chatbot of onself.
