Meet the company that wants to bring people back from THE DEAD

A company who is attempting to use technology to pretty much ressurect people sounds like the plot line of a pretty generic sci-fi film probably directed by James Cameron. 

Except that this plot line is real life. 

An Australian startup company eerily named Humai is basically planning to make dying irrelevant in the next thirty years. 

According to the companies website, Humai is "an [artificial intelligence] company with a mission to reinvent the afterlife."

"We want to bring you back to life after you die."

Hmm. 

CEO Josh Bocanegra says that the company aims to resurrect people by putting their recorded consciousness into an artificial body. 

“We're using artificial intelligence and nanotechnology to store data of conversational styles, behavioural patterns, thought processes and information about how your body functions from the inside-out"

This data would then be “coded into multiple sensor technologies, which will be built into an artificial body with the brain of a deceased human.”

The company plans to record the personality of it's members through various smart phone apps that are already in development as well as freezing the brain of the deceased. 

"When the technology is then fully developed we'll implant the brain into an artificial body.”

When asked why anyone would want to be kept alive after death, Josh said he believed that an artificial body would "contribute to the human experience" as well as making death easier to accept. 

Yeah, while this sounds like it could be an impressive feat for technology, we do not know how we feel about a company making death pretty much optional.
