Company Plans To Resurrect Humans With Artificial Intelligence By 2045 by khalhokage(m): 9:36pm On Nov 25, 2015
A company has announced its intention to resurrect the dead by storing their memories and using artificial intelligence to return them to life. In the future, of course.

Yeaaaaaah. What?

The company is called Humai , and at the moment, it is pretty sparse on details – and we're still not sure it's not a marketing ploy or a hoax. At any rate, the company says they want to store the “conversational styles, behavioral patterns, thought processes and information about how your body functions from the inside-out” on a silicon chip using AI and nanotechnology, according to their website.

This information would then be “coded into multiple sensor technologies, which will be built into an artificial body with the brain of a deceased human.” Their words, not ours.

In an interview with PopSci , Humai CEO and founder Josh Bocanegra said they “believe we can resurrect the first human within 30 years.” He also elaborated on the process, saying they would use cryonics technology to freeze and store a brain after death, keeping it safe until the technology is ready to insert it into an artificial body.

Quite what these artificial bodies will be is unknown, while the logistics of copying someone’s stored neural information is obviously very much science fiction at the moment. The company seems confident though, even going so far as to suggest that death could one day be optional with their method.

Speaking to IEET, Bocanegra added that while other AI companies are attempting to make virtual versions of people after they die, his was the first to actually bring people back to life. “I don’t think tombstones, photos, videos, or even our own memories are the best ways to remember someone who has passed,” he said. “Instead, I think an artificially intelligent version of your loved one, whom you can interact with via text and voice, is more desirable.”

This is definitely one company you’ll want to keep an eye on over the next few years to see if they make any significant progress towards their rather lofty goal. Or if it's simply an advert for a sequel to Spielberg's "AI."

God won't sit in heaven and allow this to happen! It 'll never work! Just a market strategy.

lol, you people sef. cheesy

You people said it was impossible to go to space because no human could go farther than the height of the tower of babel. not only have we now done that, we have also reached the moon, mars, and outside the solar system. sad

You may be right. it may never work. YET. but if it doesn't, it won't be because God had anything to do about it.

As crazy as this is, I 100% want it. . . .







I once told my RELIGIOUS GOD FEARING brother that one day, we will preserve our minds ELECTRONICALLY. . . He said scientists are trying to play god & wont succeed. . He didn't know I am an atheist. grin grin grin grin

science is golden... it will work but will not end well
Re: Company Plans To Resurrect Humans With Artificial Intelligence By 2045 by Nobody: 12:27pm On Nov 27, 2015
As much I hope it can work, I just know it can't. Our brains are coded, finetuned, shall we say, to our bodies







But who knows? Science continues to shock us everyday.

Though this is possible in the future, but I doubt if that coy has that tech presently.

I've said it before. In another hundred years man will be like the gods. That time, it'll be discovered that the holy spirit is nothing but electromagnetic waves, the source of life of all living things.
