Terminally ill professor Jan Rotmans has an 'AI twin' of himself created
Jan Rotmans, a terminally ill professor, is creating a digital twin of himself using AI to share his knowledge on societal changes. This avatar will allow him to give lectures and answer questions posthumously. Rotmans, a pioneer in climate modeling, aims to ensure his insights continue to influence future generations. He acknowledges potential risks, including misinformation from the avatar, but plans to rigorously test it. Despite skepticism from others, he believes this innovation could become common among scientists in the future.
