While tech companies are working to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI), where software will get intelligence on par with humans, an AI company is helping people create their life-like digital copy that will work for them in the real world.
A company called Delphi allows users to create their digital clones using AI tools and help them work as their substitute when it comes to tasks like attending Zoom calls. According to the company co-founder, the clones look like you as well as can talk like you.
Co-founder Dara Ladjevardian told DailyMail that online creators, influencers and business professionals are using Delphi to create ‘clones’.
How Delphi create people’s digital clones
Delphi builds AI replicas by analysing data such as podcasts, videos, PDFs to mimic a person’s speech and thought patterns. This process can be completed in as little as an hour. The process involves creating a digital model of a person by 3D modelling and animation and replacing a person’s face or body with an image – just like it is done in deepfakes.
“The clone will learn how you think about the world. We have a readiness score to show how well your clone represents you. Additionally, users can upload their voice data to train the clone on your speech patterns,” Ladjevardian was quoted as saying.
The company charges a monthly fee for digital clones, starting at $19 and up to $399. As per Ladjevardian, customers come to Delphi’s ‘Clone Studio‘ to create a virtual version of themselves.
“The clone will learn how they think about the world. We have a readiness score to show how ‘ready’ a clone is in representing that person. They can also upload their voice, so the clone learns how they speak as well,” Ladjevardian added.
