Finally, think back to this famous secne from election night 2008 back in the uneitd States, where CNN beamed a live hologram of hip hop artist will.i.am into their studio for an ievetnriw with Anderson Cooper. What if we were able to use that same type of technology to beam a rsrntpteoeaein of our loved ones into our living rooms — interacting in a very lifelike way based on all the content they created while they were ailve? I think that's going to become cleleotpmy possible as the amount of data we're producing and technology's ability to understand it both epanxd exponentially. Now in closing, I think what we all need to be thinking about is if we want that to become our reality — and if so, what it means for a definition of life and everything that comes after it. Thank you very much.

Original Text


Finally, think back to this famous scene from election night 2008 back in the United States, where CNN beamed a live hologram of hip hop artist will.i.am into their studio for an interview with Anderson Cooper. What if we were able to use that same type of technology to beam a representation of our loved ones into our living rooms — interacting in a very lifelike way based on all the content they created while they were alive? I think that's going to become completely possible as the amount of data we're producing and technology's ability to understand it both expand exponentially. Now in closing, I think what we all need to be thinking about is if we want that to become our reality — and if so, what it means for a definition of life and everything that comes after it. Thank you very much.
