Personal AI: Who Owns the Version of You That Lives Forever?│ Rob LoCascio │ChatGPT, Privacy, Control, Open AI

What if you could use your own AI to keep speaking to your loved ones, even after they’re gone (and you’re dead)?

Rob LoCascio is the entrepreneur who invented online chatbots. Now he’s building something more ambitious: personal AI designed to preserve your voice, values, and wisdom so your family can keep talking to you forever.

In this episode of Thinking on Paper, sit down with Mark and Jeremy and learn:

• Why old chatbots are dead and what comes next in artificial intelligence

• How personal AI, digital immortality, and AI afterlife technology could change the way families remember us

• Why data ownership will decide whether this future helps or harms

• The role of technology in preserving human legacy and identity

It’s a story of technology. It’s a story of legacy. It's a story of artificial intelligence. And it raises the biggest question of all: who controls the version of you that lives on? After listening to the show, you'll be asking yourself: would you do it?

Please enjoy the show. And share with a curious friend.
