"Personality Capture and Emulation" is the gateway to an amazing
future that actually may be achieved, enabling the preservation and
simulation of human personalities at progressively higher levels of
fidelity. This challenge is no longer the province merely of
uninhibited visionaries, but has become a solid field of research,
drawing upon a wide range of information technologies in
human-centered computing and cyber-human systems. Even at modest
levels of accomplishment, research in this emerging area requires
convergence of cognitive, social, and cultural sciences, in
cooperation with information engineering and artificial
intelligence, thus stimulating new multidisciplinary perspectives.
Therefore this book will inspire many specific research and
development projects that will produce their own valuable outcomes,
even as the totality of the work moves us closer to a major
revolution in human life. Will it ever really be possible to
transfer a human personality at death to a technology that permits
continued life?Or will people come to see themselves as elements in
a larger socio-cultural system, for which a societal information
system can provide collective immortality even after the demise of
individuals? A large number and variety of pilot studies and
programming projects are offered as prototypes for research that
innovators in many fields may exploit for the achievement of their
own goals. Together, they provide an empirical basis to strengthen
the intellectual quality of several current debates at the
frontiers of the human and information sciences."
