Personality Capture and Emulation is the gateway to an amazing future
that actually may be achieved, enabling the preservation and
simulation of human personalities at progressively higher levels of
fidelity. This challenge is no longer the province merely of
uninhibited visionaries, but has become a solid field of research,
drawing upon a wide range of information technologies in
human-centered computing and cyber-human systems. Even at modest
levels of accomplishment, research in this emerging area requires
convergence of cognitive, social, and cultural sciences, in
cooperation with information engineering and artificial intelligence,
thus stimulating new multidisciplinary perspectives. Therefore this
book will inspire many specific research and development projects that
will produce their own valuable outcomes, even as the totality of the
work moves us closer to a major revolution in human life. Will it ever
really be possible to transfer a human personality at death to a
technology that permits continued life? Or will people come to see
themselves as elements in a larger socio-cultural system, for which a
societal information system can provide collective immortality even
after the demise of individuals? A large number and variety of pilot
studies and programming projects are offered as prototypes for
research that innovators in many fields may exploit for the
achievement of their own goals. Together, they provide an empirical
basis to strengthen the intellectual quality of several current
debates at the frontiers of the human and information sciences.
