People could soon talk to dead family members thanks to an artificial intelligence ‘ghostbot’.
Microsoft has applied for a patent for an app that could digitally reincarnate the deceased by using images, voice data, social media posts, electronic messages and letters.
The app would then allow living relatives to interact with their loved ones from beyond the grave through smart devices such as the Amazon Alexa or Google Nest.
The technology would also see 2D or 3D models of the person generated using images.
Microsoft’s patent says social data would be used to, ‘create or modify a special index in the theme of the specific person’s personality.’
