Artificial intelligence “Echo of Life” makes it possible to interact with the dead

The Life’s Echo project tries to provide the possibility of interacting and talking with their relatives and loved ones after death by using artificial intelligence and interviewing people before death.

Uploading people’s thoughts and personality onto the computer is not a new idea and has been in science fiction movies for decades. Such virtual characters, which are created using interviews with live people or processing of videos, texts and audio files of a person, are called digital ghosts. Several companies are active in this field, but so far the use of their services has not been widespread. Now, a new project called “Life’s Echo” is trying to learn from previous mistakes and take inspiration from the successes of other projects to create a virtual clone of people with the ability to interact and talk with others.

“Pajhwok Zendeh” company, unlike most similar examples that focus on the works and files left by deceased people, wants to focus more on the living. The company uses an artificial intelligence-based interviewer named “Sara” who conducts a comprehensive interview with a person in 45 minutes. Asking questions related to childhood, personal life, memories and personal details is one of Sara’s works. The creators say the interviews are similar to therapy sessions, and more than a thousand pre-set questions are stored in Sarah’s database.

AI will clone you for the afterlife

After the completion of the interview, a virtual version of the person is created with the possibility of interacting and speaking with the person’s voice, which is called “Pajhwok Artificial Intelligence”. After death, relatives or other people can talk to the deceased and hear the details of his life from his own words. Of course, the founders of the Life’s Echo project have bigger goals and want to establish a database of virtual souls for future generations to use.

Currently, services such as Character.AI can provide users with the possibility of interacting with virtual personalities of famous people and historical figures. Almost similar platforms such as HereAfter AI are also trying to create a dedicated chatbot for the dead, but it has not yet received much attention. Eternos.life service also creates a digital clone by receiving texts from terminally ill people and enables the person’s family to communicate with them after death.
