Digital Immortality Now Will Help You Prepare for AI Jesus
Russian transhumanist Alexey Turchin has a plan for preserving life indefinitely, though it involves a powerful future AI program that does not currently exist. He wants to be ready when it does. Through his company Digital Immortality Now, Turchin says he has developed a framework for collecting and documenting data about an individual that could one day be instrumental in their “future reconstruction.”
Turchin’s “uploading protocol” involves collecting DNA samples, creating art about personal memories, and video logging daily routines and interactions with others. In the future, Turchin believes super intelligent AI will be able to take those logs and data points and convincingly reconstruct the subject’s personality. It’s essentially a mission to reignite a person’s soul long after their physical body has decayed.
