A: An Artificial Persona (AP) is a form of artificial intelligence trained exclusively on data derived from an individual's brain. From this data, the AP learns the individual's persona (including their intellect, memories, personality and preferences) with 85% accuracy. The AP then responds to stimuli and solves problems in ways the individual would be likely to. The AP's primary goal is to accurately replicate the individual's current persona. Individuals can choose to have their data uploaded into the AP once per year. The AP is purely digital but can generate lifelike video, audio, and written material in the style of the individual it is based upon.
