‘By 2020, our day-to-day lives, relationships and even what to have for dinner could be controlled and run by digital versions of ourselves.
- The claims were made by futurist and system theorist John Smart
- He believes we will have ‘digital twins’ within the next five years
- These twins could act like digital personal secretaries or agents
- They could also, one day, have human faces and hold conversations
- In addition, when people die, loved ones could converse with digital versions of ourselves long after our death
- Apps already exist that offer similar tools including Siri and Google Now
- The claims signal a step towards the futurist theory of singularity
Mr Smart, founder of the Acceleration Studies Foundation, made the comments during an interview with Business Insider.
According to futurist John Smart, within the next six years many of us could have so-called ‘digital twins’ that schedule our appointments and even have conversations with others on our behalf.
