Meta has patented an AI system that will keep a user's social media accounts active even after death. With the help of AI, this system will also make posts and audio-video calls.

The day is not far off when a user's social media accounts will remain active even after their death. Not only will they remain active, but they will also receive AI-generated posts, messages, and even video and audio calls from the user. Meta has developed and patented an AI system for this purpose. According to reports, an AI model can be trained using a user's social media activities, allowing it to operate social media in the same manner after the user's death.

How will this system work?

According to the patent, the AI ​​system will understand the user's tone, preferences, and behavior patterns. Once trained, it will be able to automatically respond to other users' posts, respond to direct messages, and perform all the tasks on social media that the original user would normally perform. It can also work in the event of a user's death or if the account holder wishes to take a long break from social media. This feature could also be useful for creators and influencers. The system will continuously update their accounts while they are busy elsewhere.

Not Just Text, Audio-Video Features

This system will not only feature text interactions but also AI-generated audio and video conversations. The system will use synthetic audio and visual elements based on past recordings and behavioral data to create audio-video calls that appear as real.

Questions are being raised about the technology

Meta is not the first company to introduce such technology. Earlier in 2021, Microsoft also patented a chatbot that can use people's digital content and respond to them after their death. Now, Meta is also implementing a similar system. However, this technology is also facing questions. These questions relate to digital identity, consent, and the use of people's data after their death.
