In a recent article for the San Francisco Chronicle, Barbeau described how Project December, a software that uses artificial intelligence technology to create hyper-realistic chatbots, enabled him to recreate conversations with his late fiancé. With just some old messages and background information entered into the model, it was able to imitate her words so precisely it felt like she was still alive. This AI technology may seem like something out of science fiction (or a Black Mirror episode), but experts express concern about its potential for misuse in spreading false information on an unprecedented scale.
