Subject: CAN YOU CREATE MY DIGITAL COPY ?

 

 

 

Dear Nikhil,

 

 

In today’s Business Line , following was reported :

 

 

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

 

But on the flip side, there are applications of a DIGITAL COPY that could be highly unsettling, especially since they could be immortal

 

 

What you are doing is of great interest to me , since , some 15 years back , I wrote a note titled :

 

VIP  :  A  Virtually  Immortal  Person

 

 

Then , with the object of “ Immortalizing “ myself , around 4 years ago , I started preparing a chronicle of my life , under :

 

www.hemenparekh.in 

 

 

You will find the details in the attachment  (  there are still hundreds of documents to be uploaded  )

 

Is there any chance that you can help me achieve this objective  ?

 

 

 

 

With Regards,

By now , on my web site (  www.hemenparekh.in  ), I have uploaded 25,000 + documents ( my personal writings for past 50 years of professional life ) plus :

 

#   700 videos of recitals of my poems ( in my own voice )

 

#   600 + letters written to me by my family and friends over 50 years

 

#   1500 + photographs of myself and my family members

 

I have a Samsung Galaxy J2 android phone and offer myself to create my personal AI avatar

 

Awaiting your early reply

Email not displaying correctly? View this email in your browser.   March at ObEN - Create Your Own Personal AI with PAIYO     ObEN has released the Alpha version of PAIYO - our first application on the Project PAI Blockchain! When ObEN was first founded, we made it our mission to bring personalized intelligent avatar technology - we call them Personal AI or PAI - to everyone in the world. In the last few years, the B2B side of our business has grown tremendously, including partnerships with major companies like AfreecaTV, SM Entertainment, CCTV, Medstar Hospital, and more. But behind the scenes, we’ve continued to work on an app that would allow anyone to use our technology and create their own PAI. This month, we’ve made a giant leap forward in that mission with the launch of PAIYO Alpha, a social app built on the Project PAI Blockchain. PAIYO Alpha was made available to over a thousand testers who had signed up for a first look at the app. As the first ObEN app on the PAI Blockchain, all of the data used to authenticate our users are stored on the blockchain, providing an innovative way to provide added protection for their digital double. The First Fourteen Days Since PAIYO’s launch earlier this month, we’ve gotten a tremendous amount of feedback and support from users. The graphic below details everything our app users have achieved over two short weeks.       As next steps, we are working on adding new features based on tester feedback, and releasing an Android version of the app as well. We hope that as PAIYO continues to grow and evolve, it will help change the digital landscape and create a new way for people to create content, communicate online, and connect with each other.   Never miss a newsletter.
