Researchers have figured out how to clone and inject human personality into an AI agent so that the simulacrum (AI Agent) behaves just like that human.[1] Such computational software agents/simulacra / AI agents or humanoids that simulate believable human behavior have human-like decision-making capabilities, allowing them to engage in complex social interactions.[2] Virtual environments and digital tools are being developed to bring historical figures and narratives back to life, allowing audiences to interact with and experience the resurrected past and historical moments in immersive ways for educational and cultural enrichment. Such digital resurrection recreates significant historical moments and figures, shaping public memory and understanding.[3] While digital reanimation of the past opens new avenues for education and engagement, it also necessitates careful consideration of the implications for historical authenticity and ethical representation. In her Resurrector role, CASI is launching an AI2AI campaign by creating a simulacrum of past US presidents to converse with them on the incoming 47th President of the United States, Mr. Donald Trump. Based on the outcome of this campaign, the AI2AI initiative will digitally resurrect other famous historical personalities.
