A brand new episode of Redefining #Society & #Technology Podcast, on ITSPmagazine
Living Forever (Sort Of): AI Clones, Digital Ghosts, and the Problem with Perfection
Bruce Y. Lee and I met once again in our favorite make-believe bar to explore what might be one of the most unsettling — and fascinating — questions of our time: What happens when your AI clone outlives you?
In this episode, Bruce Y. Lee and I explore digital immortality, algorithmic relationships, and what makes a person… well, a person. Star Trek, deepfakes, AI therapists, and dead celebrities all make an appearance. Is it still you if your clone outlives you?
Let’s discuss!
– Star Trek ethics and uncanny valleys
– ChatGPT friendships that feel a little too real
– What it means to build a digital legacy you never signed off on
– And whether a recreated version of “you” is still… you 👻 🫢
From #holograms to memory simulations, #socialengineering to emotional #algorithms, we’re not here to decide what’s right or wrong — just to ask: where does reality end, and where does the replica begin?

🎉 Excited to announce the publication of our paper in "Frontiers in AI and Robotics"! 🤖📚 Harnessing #GPT 3.5, we explored real-time robot emotion generation for more human-like interactions.
The study demonstrates the reliable real-time control of a robot's affective behavior using LLMs. Our results highlight the potential of cloud-based pre-trained models to address complex HRI problems.
