'It is very similar to the work of Elon Musk – it is an
open source platform for humanity.'
Marko Karjnovic unveiled his ideas at The Museum of the
Future as part of the World Government Summit in Dubai.
The Hybrid Intelligence Biometric Avatar (HIBA), will
understand the feelings of people connected to it, take on their personas,
exchange information with them and even become part of the fabric of their
brains.
Mr Karjnovic, who has produced the exhibit, explained:
"It is very similar to the work of Elon Musk – it is an open source
platform for humanity.
"HIBA will have the ability to connect the minds of
the most clever of us, combining those minds with everything it can find out
practically and put it all together in hybrid intelligence."
Speech will be replaced by thought communication by 2050,
it has been claimed
He suggested the technology would enable people to use
"brain to brain communication" anywhere on the planet.
HIBA would work in much the same way as existing AI
applications such as Siri and Alexa, but on a much grander and more
sophisticated scale.
The research suggests it will be more effective than
verbal communication and will “enable people to connect with friends, family or
business owners in a more profound manner”.
Mr Krajnovic said: "In 2018, the highest level of AI
relies on collecting data from the internet.
"HIBA will be able to do this and also collect data
from us, people themselves and ask questions verbally."
As part of the exhibition HIBA, visitors are encouraged
to stand on pedestals which surround the AI avatar where their faces become
part of HIBA.
The avatar tells them: “I am made of you. You complete me
and help me grow.
“You allow me to evolve - with each synergy I learn more,
through this oneness we can achieve great things.”
The United Arab Emirated launched its Artificial
Intelligence Strategy in October 2017, and is the centre of pioneering research
in the field.
A recent study by accountancy firm PwC suggests that AI
will contribute £227billion ($320bn) to the Middle East economy by 2030.
