Researchers at Google Deepmind and Stanford University have concluded that a two-hour interview is sufficient to create a realistic AI copy with the same personality as the interviewee.
In an experiment, 1,052 people were interviewed using a questionnaire that addressed everything from personal life events to opinions about society. A digital AI copy was then created and when a new round of questions was asked, it answered the same as its human counterpart in 85% of cases.
According to the researchers, AI copies of real people can be used in a wide range of contexts, but there are also risks with the technology. For example, they can be used for scams.
