Transcript of Digital immortality and art
We have a problem: death
And we have a hope: AI
Superintelligence Self-improving
Exceed collective intelligence of humanity Unite all planet
May appear in the 21 century
Digital immortality is plan C of reaching immortality
Plan A is to survive until immortality via fighting aging
Plan B is cryonics
Two meanings of the digital immortality а) Preservation of the human informational traces with the hope that future AI will resurrect him - right one б) Brain scanning of a living human
AI will be able to reconstruct a persobality of a diseased person
AI was able to reconstruct a poetry of a dead musician (Letov)
Son created a chat-bot of his father
I suppouse that some level of needed fidelity of a copy exists, like one night difference
But there is a mindkiller problem: the problem of the personal identity
- But the copy will not be me? - Yes.
-It will be like your nearest relative - And may be you after all
More details here:
To reconstruct the personality we need a lot of information
Passively collected information is not enough
We don’t need all information
Information criteria: 1. Predicting – predict future behaviour 2.Valuable: related to the human values 3.Unique – predict individuality
Examples: - Predicting but not unique: number of the fingers of the palm- Unique but not valuable: the shape of the nail on the little finger- Valuable, but not unique: pin-code from the card
The main thesis: The work of art meets the requirements of importance,
uniqueness and predictive value.

Any attempt to deliberately unload information from yourself, self-description, leads to the creation of art. For some artists, art became an escape from Shoushenk (A.
Lobanov, spent his entire life in a mental hospital)
Style as a personal hash function or digital signature
The style is unique and everyone has his own. The correct copy will create objects in the same style.

In the film "Transcendence" it is the digital immortality used to create the personality model of the protagonist
The world is constantly collecting more and more data about people using the Internet and video surveillance, as well as investing in the storage of these data. But
this is only passive information, and there is little essential and individual in it.
At the same time, people are dying, information is lost and no one is interested
in correctly collecting this information

“Digital Immortality Now"
Uploading protocol creation
Digital immortality now
The basis of the protocol: to encourage people to create works of art in order to fix their individuality

+ art therapy, + construction of the worlds + active imagination + drawing dreams
Digital immortality now
Drawing from nature acts as an information filter, and so we learn what kind of filter it is.
Digital immortality now
Self-portrait as presentation of your
idea of Self
Digital immortality now And not only drawing: singing, a story about life, any
complex unique activity acts as an imprint of personality
Digital immortality now The mode of free generation by a neural network gives its
structure
