Ray Kurzweil does not want to die, but at the age of 78, he has been thinking more about it, a preoccupation that he describes as a “major motivating force of human beings.” So over the past year, Kurzweil, whose keen observations and 2005 bestseller “The Singularity Is Near” have made him one of the most influential prophets of the AI age, has devoted himself to a project to ensure a version of Ray Kurzweil lives on—by creating an AI replica of himself. He calls it Rai. The AI is accessible through a browser on a computer or smartphone. Interacting with it is much like having a Zoom call. Once the AI program is opened, a three-dimensional image of Kurzweil appears against a cosmos-themed backdrop, and it responds to someone’s voice.
