Are you sure the dead will be gone forever? What if they don’t? No, this is not a premise for the start of a horror film! But is in fact hard scientific fact wherein we can preserve the personality of our loved ones forever – in the form of algorithms! Here is the scoop on that..

1. with Machine Learning
THE DEAD MAY RETURN

2. Do you miss your grandmother who died a
few years back?

3. Do you miss her so much that you wish you
could talk with her once again?

4. Many of us have come across such thoughts,
sometimes in the middle of a dark night or
even under broad day light. But how many of
us have believed in our wish of bringing the
our loved one back from the dead?

5. What if someday you log into your Facebook
account and find out that a deceased friend
of yours has send you a ‘Good Morning’ text?
Will you reply? Or will you shut down your
computer and quit the social media? Sounds
spooky, right?

6. Bringing Back the Dead
Currently, the researchers at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) and Ryerson
University are working together to use Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in order to bridge the gap
between life and after-life. According to Dr.
Hossein Rahnama, a member at the MIT Media
Lab, even after a person dies, his personality,
opinions and thoughts will continue to survive in
the digital world.

7. ALGORITHMS ARE IMMORTAL
According to the researchers, Machine Learning can be applied to
the data we produce everyday and transfer these thoughts to a
computer. In turn, these data fed computers will act as our virtual
entity; being able to talk like us, replicating our beliefs and eventually
surviving our demise.
It is estimated that these algorithms will be able to share posts on
social media just as if we do or prefer to do.

8. COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEAD
What makes it a more interesting concept is that our digital entities
will be able to communicate with the world in the exact same way as
we do, and more importantly, it will learn new things that will add to
the knowledge of our digital immortal entity.
Again, the reading habits of the virtual identity will depend on
what are our preferences when we are alive.

9. Scientists are developing systems that will
analyse huge data consisting of the works of the
eminent historical personalities. Such an
experiment, if succeeds, will allow the ordinary
people to communicate with the dead legends.
For instance, you may ask the digital identity of
Albert Einstein about his thoughts on alien life.

10. Again, since the system will be data driven,
sometimes the answers may repeat itself
depending on the questions asked.

11. THE WAIT IS NOT OVER YET!
Although, significant improvements are being
made in the field of AI and Machine Learning,
researchers think that such a scenario of
digitising a dead person may not be
implemented before 2045-2050.

12. The reason behind this is that the past
generation did not have enough scope of
digital communication, which restricts the
amount of data available to feed computers in
order to replicate a digitised version of them.

13. Today’s modern era is witnessing a significant
technological revolution. The amount of data
available today will make it easier to preserve
our identity in the digital world, which will live
forever (literally).
