People are making bots of themselves.They're probably calling them AI assistants, and are making them DIY or by using sites such as Trint ot HappyScribe (for use on video conference meetings such as Zoom or Teams).
Keith McNulty made a bot of himself to make sense of his own work (I'm using NotebookLM for this purpose. Here, for example, is 8 minutes of AI voices discussing 15 years of Blueprints). Other people make bots of themselves to enable 24/7 contact.
So, what do you do if you're planning a meeting or a conference or a community gathering and someone asks to send their bot instead of their physical self? If your organization already has a policy in place for this - and you've considered the impact of having a mix of bots and people at your events (on both the bots and the people) - feel free to share them so we can all learn. I can still host things on DigitalImpact.IO for civil society organizations around the world to use.
Here are some additional thoughts on this coming phenomenon from DataEthics.eu.
I have a new book coming out in July 2025 on AI And Assembly, written with an amazing group of collaborators, that looks at how AI is changing how we associate and assemble. This is just one example.
