After a 2-hour interview, Google can make an AI that thinks and acts like you

Imagine distilling a person’s personality, opinions, and decision-making style into an AI replica. This concept isn’t science fiction—it’s the foundation of a groundbreaking study by Stanford University and Google DeepMind. Researchers crafted AI copies of over 1,000 participants using info gleaned from two-hour interviews.

The project sought to create AI agents that could mimic human behavior. Participants were recruited by the market research firm Bovitz and paid $60 to engage with an AI interviewer.
