Microsoft has come up with a patent to create chatbots capable of mimicking the personality of a specific person. The tech giant received permission to obtain the patent earlier this month after filing the license in 2017.
Microsoft’s goal is to create artificial intelligence generated from individual personalities, dead or alive, from social media data, emails and other forms of personal information. The company plans to use images and video data to make its avatars more realistic.
Several start-up companies are already working on technology capable of creating 3D holograms.
“Our software allows the simultaneous capture of multiple people in different locations in real time,” said Javier Bello, founder and CEO of Imverse. “This capture can be integrated into games, teleconferencing applications, educational platforms, which are built with standard 3D content creation software.”
