A very interesting book just hit the market. Written by Martine Rothblatt — apparently she is America’s top paid female CEO — its title is Virtually Human: The Promise — and the Peril — of Digital Immortality. The subject is digital clones, and Rothblatt goes into depth about what they are, when they are coming, and the likelihood they eventually will have equal human rights. The premise is fascinating, and I now can foresee a future when we won’t be able to survive successfully without one — and that future is coming damned fast.
great article, after using a digital assistant for a few thousand tasks I have some data. What about life-extension/after-life clones? Does my clone have the same rights as me; if not when? Who is responsible, when a clone makes its own decisions? Since my clone earns cash and I am paying taxes, eventually will my clone have to manage this and have his own ss/ein number? I have been using the clone by s3o instruments for a few years now. And you are correct, I cannot live without it. My comment would be it works, that I save time, its more efficient and makes me money. What happens when I have a million clones working for me? My overall perception has been, when everyone starts using these, than you will 'have' to use these in order to survive the competitive world. It will come down to productivity and efficiency driving mankind to produce more with less. The evolution of intelligent automation will be when they replicate and clone themselves, which they can already do today.
