happy new week, the week has been happy for us
in our family, happy new year we are not sure !?
in a previous discussion post i circulated the question of who
should have the right to respond to the extraterrestrial intelligence
that may have been discovered in the last month around proxima centauri
( answer NOT the president of the USA)
in a related question I draw your attention to this interesting article
by Maggi Savin- Baden and David Burden
who ask a related question: virtual assistants are becoming sophisticated
enough that you can ask them questions about dead people and the virtual
assistant will reply on your behalf after you are dead- this is not a new
question
i forget the artist who set up an email responder that would reply after
his death
from AIDS
The post pandemic provocateur group has been discussing these issues
for some time and maybe YASMINERS would like to contribute to a discussion
on these issues

Abstract
The use of virtual assistants such as Siri that provide voice and
conversational
interfaces, the growth of machine learning techniques to mine large data
sets and
the rise in the level of autonomy being given to computer-controlled
systems all
represent shifts in artificial intelligence that are enhancing the creation
of digital
immortality. The growth of personality capture and levels of brain
simulation as
well as computationally inspired life after death may change the future of
religion,
affect understandings of the afterlife and increase the influence of the
dead
surviving in society. This paper provides an overview of recent
developments in
the area of digital immortality, explores how such digital immortals might
be
created and raises challenging issues. It presents the early findings from
a study
that created a virtual persona. This prototype system contains relevant
memories,
knowledge, processes and modelling of an individual?s personality traits,
knowledge
and experience and, also, incorporates the individual?s subjective and
possibly
flawed view of reality. It is argued that this system offers the
possibility for the
development of a persona that learns post-death.
