get the app now young moroccan immigrants a knows the police will stop done that the road is solution their flight could be fatal, but going back is not an option. i'm on and they are stuck in the spanish border area there. they're waiting for a chance that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts june 18th on d. w. to be immortal. it seems we are approaching this era of humanity in the digital realm, with the help of chat, thoughts, holograms, and avatars. have you seen the video of a mother who sees that daughter again using virtual reality, more on that later? the digital mortality,

our topic today on the me in the science fiction series upload instead of dying, people are uploaded to a resort and they lead the internal virtual live alongside of a digital. and that it's not for me in fact, and of the nose and academics who believe they can give people its own life. for instance, the russian invested, dimitri, its cost is 2045 initiative. and to be available, hologram body and an artificial brain. by the year 2045, it could have individual personalities uploaded onto it. nanotechnology and bank computer interfaces will supposedly make this possible. our model bodies will be replaced by technology will stay the life would be the part of a person that can speak, act, and think. do you think that could be possible in a few decades? the german author hands block and his co author movers, either we have been meeting people around the world,

we're working on digital mortality. the book is called the digital sold the media digital sol as the idea that because we leave behind so much online data every day . it's possible to create a digital so of internet users from the algorithms, the artificial intelligence can analyze online behavior to create something akin to a personality profile, which can continue to exist after we die when he was present. this is what many companies emerging around the world, claiming few and it's reminiscent of religion than he does. but instead of monotheistic places of worship, god, we know have companies from silicon valley, silicon valley ones and zeros instead of jesus in florida. wow. extracting our personalities out of big data seems to be pretty simple. the study by stanford university and the university of cambridge shows that with just cam likes, an algorithm can understand our personalities better than our colleagues. of the 300 likes

a computer program can understand our personalities better our partners. so can programs credibly represent us after death? a few companies are convinced they're working on chat, but that enabled virtual interaction between the debt and those left behind the u. s. company off, for example, of us speaking avatars. these are based on interviews in which people talk about their lives. i create a chat thought that your family can access it through an app or a voice assistant. we simply ask a question relating to the life of the deceased and the but will answer in their voice. are you facing any big challenges in your life right now? yeah, sometimes you just need a little perspective. the idea came to found a james louse when his father was dying from cancer louse, began by recording his father and then programming a lot from the data that bought a typical story. tons block, says philadelphia, the owners have in fact been effected personally,

talking the and austin and mentioned have lost someone close to the skin from the, from this pain and dealing with such a huge loss. these entrepreneurs developed a digital coping strategy. done it on south utah out and i created bots of the deceased loved one such on and mention the exploring the idea that there might be another way to deal with grief and loss in the digital age and grieving and digital times very emotional videos on youtube has received more than 27000000 views and has given rise to controversial discussion with the have of the glasses south korean jogging to you so me to cease thought and now yawn in a park. she says she wanted to say good bye in a nice atmosphere because memories had been dominated by the suffering of a daughter in hospital. oh no, i knew who. oh, streaming moving from me,

it's also somewhat disturbing. the idea was carried out by the south korean tech company via studios technicians, synthesize the voice of the 70 year old, using private videos and recordings of face and body reconstructed virtually and animated by a computer using data of typical human movements. how did the mother feel about it? after the union i'm the mother said that it had done her good that to see her daughter again. i'm saying for, well again, in a virtual version of a heart, she'd been to real life with her daughter since peace, i know we're a shelf, but this may be detrimental to a very delicate grieving process because in the constant, reminders can restart the grieving from noise i was confused, it's actually an experiment experiment i'm often and right now we don't know how it might affect us to have these repeated encounters with digital entities look so similar to real people who might be the beginning of them. what do you think of these virtual resurrections? would you do something like this to see a loved one? again,

i would love to see your comments and emails about this. holograms has also become amazingly realistic, albeit less immersive than we are. can us, if can condition a hologram of a dead father, robert as a present, keep doing what you're doing. kimberly. you are a uniform. so and that musicians standing as holograms on the stage, a pretty common sizes. they said by the author of thing, maria carlos who has been dead for more than 40 years actually seem real and you really feel like she's there. and i don't even know how to possible that it's a pretty striking effect. lisa has always moved me this time she didn't, and i think that's a real change. his arch nonsense. he's supposed to like it. it's mesmerizing

terrifying. wouldn't maria carlos have approved up going on to after her death? these days some celebrities even specified during their lives. what is and is not allowed to happen to that pictures and videos, some even striving to become digitally a model like canadian actor william shatner, best known as captain kirk on star trek. tell me about the meaning of life. it was probably the longest interview that william shatner had ever given in a total of 45 hours based over 5 days. he answered questions about his life. his answer is upon the basis for his immortal club, which future generations will be able to engage with. people will be able to ask william shatner a hologram the question. the artificial intelligence by the he was firm story file will provide the appropriate answer about 650 answers. he gave to questions. they go into a database and then they're transcribed. and then the artificial intelligence looks

at transcription and create a set of, of questions that you could ask to get to that answer. so call natural language processing. and the natural language process and story file enables you then to ask a question of williams video. and it will then go through a database and find the most appropriate answer to the question you asked william shatner to become an interactive how the gram he had to be film from every angle in his volumetric studio chapter says that he also disclosed information that he never shared publicly before. when his hologram is ready, it will be available not just to his family, to every $100.00. so this is a legacy. this is like what you would leave your children, what you would leave on your gravestone, where you would, you know, and then the possibilities are endless. even video games are in place for digital grief. the people who play games will be advertised, then dad, siblings,

to close as of them and the football computer game for 21 features a player was no longer with us. can prince the dream that would only come true to death. chi and prince clean for the london team. queens park rangers guzman 6 at h 15. the talented british player was killed. he tried to stop the dispute back then he was playing for kewpie. yours youth team now is avatar features and fee for $21.00. campaign formed by his father fees of 21, new credible of everybody involved in this project. to bring it to life. to make this a reality. and the reason, the power behind the soul, who the play i will become, my son was as a young man. what he would have turned out to become as

a 30 year old technology was used to make clear prints into a lot of photos of him as a teenager and his father is a young man. we used to create the games versus fuller coaches. the teammates had to develop a multi prince can celebrate the success of virtually that were robbed from him in real life and memorial in the game. fever. pretty cool. i'll definitely pay a virtual visit to queens park rangers. the typical place for many of us to grieve is still the cemetery, but it is becoming more normal degree digitally and it doesn't have to be one or the other. you can now get gravestones with q r, codes, german, stonemason, and of course, can, has found a way to tell stories about the dead and great stones with q r codes. as much eat lots of mucous tight. i'd rather have the opportunity to

create their own commemoration of the c stuff at the grades of students who can help me scanning the q. r code takes you to a website that the relatives can design themselves a visit to a great can immerse you in an individual's royals. for example, you, i think of all kids in 2011 the 20 year old, drowned during the surfing holiday and the atlantic for younique's father that he wore cold as a contemporary way of dealing with his son's untimely death. in the middle of it, i think it would have been annoyed if we just planted pansies over his head. i think you'll be proud of a grave. you can go straight to the online memorial site for one kid to be reminded of the times he had, for example, with this song by a friend on the shelf,

if the line and the signal on the left. so the believe in an afterlife is fading in the western world, but at the same time, many people don't want to accept that death is the end. this leaves a gap that big tech might soon be able to fill. but do we really want to keep our memories of log on to live with technology? i have very mixed feelings. they use up the most talented by the company. my heritage, for example, transforms uploaded photos of the disease into videos. this uses deep learning to combine photographs for the movement of other people. but personally, i really don't want my descendants to remember me this way. what do you think would you like to be in the digital cloud after you die? and would you like to use these services to keep in contact with that right to us and tell us your next time goodbye ah,

in the the back to the future with the version of this. so i list motor icon. the oval man's head gsp. the prototype, classic design on the outside, latest tech, on the inside. the manta fandom is charged and raring to go. red w. o, the

whole jewish life. that's what from the producer of the owner, and journalists who are exploring, delving into history and the present nice that i would never have thought that could be live. so my phone is 6 jewish in europe. the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on d, w. the magazine, how many months since yeah. may till it's either me or i said we're going to get more into a member in our get are going to really go to the news

we are living during the most extraordinary time in history transport
