Pretend you are talking to yourself. But the person you are talking to should not be your reflection or image but the person you will be when you are 60 or 70 years old. That means he should be your future version! This will also be possible with the technology of AI. Considering the possibilities of today’s technologies, this may not seem strange to you, but the strange thing is that scientists want to do this not for the common people but for themselves and are preparing for it seriously.
If the scientist’s efforts are successful, which he has high hopes for, then humans will soon be able to talk to their future versions to improve their mental health. So don’t be surprised if after some time someone tells you that his own appearance with gray hair and extra wrinkles today told him about knowledge and experience. Some scientists in America have found a way to do this.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created an AI system called “Future You” that creates a “synthetic memory” of a person to try to replicate a person’s personal traits.

Hopefully this will recreate a “realistic” interaction that will feel as if the computer system is taking on your personality. The software creates a version of someone aged 60, providing information about what life might be like in the future, as well as advice and life perspective.
Science Daily reported that a preliminary study found that “after interacting with a future you for about half an hour, people reported decreased anxiety and felt a stronger sense of connection with their future self.”
This is the first study that successfully demonstrates the use of personalized AI-generated characters to improve users’ future self-continuity and well-being. Researchers say that AI can be a kind of time machine.
