According to John Smart, the futurist who started the Acceleration Studies Foundation, technology will be developed in the next five years that will act as our computerized identities. These digital twins will make appointments, fill out paperwork, and make decisions for us based on a personal profile.

According to John Smart, the futurist who started the Acceleration Studies Foundation, technology will be developed in the next five years that will act as our computerized identities.

These digital twins will make appointments, fill out paperwork, and make decisions for us based on a personal profile.

The profile will be based on information gathered by the digital twin system and used to best suit the user.

Smart is quoted as saying: “When you and I die, our kids aren’t going to go to our tombstones, they’re going to fire up our digital twins and talk to them.”

He predicts that the technology of artificial intelligence will develop to look more like humans too.

While the semantics maps and conversational interfaces still need improvement, systems like Apple’s Siri, Cortana from Microsoft, and IBM’s Watson, have already incorporated cognitive programs.

The digital twin technology will operate by analyzing files, emails, and smartphone data to create a record of the users interests and values which will then direct consumer habits and advertising.
