Canadian actor Calum Warsi founded a startup and developed the 2wai application, which allows using artificial intelligence (AI) to create digital copies of deceased relatives in order to communicate and interact with them. “The scandalous advertisement shows a pregnant woman talking to an artificial copy of her late mother through an app called 2wai. The video then moves forward in time, showing how the “grandmother” reads a bedtime story to a newborn boy, talks to them when they return from school, and discusses the birth of her child,” the publication reports.
To create a digital copy, you need to provide the AI with a three-minute video that captures footage of their life of a person whose image needs to be copied to the chatbot. At the same time, such an application of modern technologies has caused serious criticism from the point of view of ethical standards.
In addition, it is noted that it is possible to recreate other fictional or real-life personalities in the past, such as Shakespeare or King Henry VIII.
Business progress: Russian companies are massively opening AI implementation offices
What will neural network specialists do and what tasks are their responsibilities?
On November 12, scientists at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology presented an innovative concept for solving one of the main problems of artificial intelligence – the phenomenon of the so-called “dementia” of neural networks, in which AI systems lose previously acquired knowledge when mastering new tasks. Experts have developed a unique memory architecture based on the principles of the functioning of the human brain.
