South Korea develops technology to communicate with dead people

South Korean company DeepBrain AI introduced Re; memory, which allows you to communicate with deceased relatives via video link. The service is paid and not cheap.

The neural network creates a digital copy based on photos and videos from the deceased’s social networks, as well as a short interview with the person’s relatives. After that, you can choose one of two options for meeting with him: a video message or a real-time conversation, writes Entrepreneur.

The "otherworldly date" takes place in a special room with a 400-inch screen and high-quality sound equipment. This creates the effect of live communication, the company notes.

In addition, you can create your digital copy during your lifetime. To do this, the neural network requires only seven hours of communication with the client, during which it studies the habits and character, and also records the appearance, communication style and voice of the client.

Creating a digital clone costs 10,000 - 20,000 pounds (900,000 - 1.8 million rubles). A communication session will cost another 1,000 pounds (90,000 rubles).

The company's development manager, Joseph Murphy, acknowledges that the service raises many questions. But he thinks it's necessary.

DeepBrain AI is called the "creator of the other world." Among its developments is a technology for the hyper-realistic recreation of famous personalities.

How do you feel about such technologies? Is it ethical to offer such services to bereaved people?
