ObEN AI @ wants to make a
digital copy of every person in the world
For about
four years now, Nikhil Jain, founder and CEO of a company called ObEN (means
‘above’) has been working on the idea of making a digital copy of everyone in
the world. What’s more, he has the funding to do it. The thought came from
Jain’s personal life, when he felt it would be rather nice to leave a copy of
himself at home — one that had some personality, looked like him, and could do
some things he couldn’t. The digital copy should be a full personal AI. First
up, take a selfie and make it into a 3D avatar. Next, a voice sample allows it
to talk in your voice. And finally, a profile gives it traits to make up your
personality. One area where this project is progressing is in the creation of
digital copies of celebrities, including Bollywood stars who can interact with
their fans without being there. No harm in that.
