Secret to 'living' forever? Tech company reveal way to bring you back after death.
A technology company says it's working on a project which would allow a human's consciousness to be transferred to an artificial body after their death.
In what sounds like a plot from a science fiction blockbuster, tech company Humai are working on human resurrection through artificial intelligence.
They're hopeful that the technology - bionics, nanotechnology and artificial intelligence - will be ready in just three decades.
Creating an imprint of people to remain after they go , Humai is using artificial intelligence and nanotechnology to store data of conversational styles, behavioral patterns, thought processes and information about how bodies function.

This data will be coded into multiple sensor technologies, which will be built into an artificial body with the brain of a deceased human.
The science as they explain it means using cloning technology, they will be able to restore the brain as it matures.
Their website explains: "Humai is an AI company with a mission to reinvent the afterlife. We want to bring you back to life after you die."
People mistook this sexy robot for a real woman:
"The artificial body functions will be controlled with your thoughts by measuring brain waves.
"As the brain ages we'll use nanotechnology to repair and improve cells," he adds, saying that cloning technology is going to help, and: "We believe we can resurrect the first human within 30 years."
Bocanegra, who says he doesn't believe that the "body was evolved with the best possible functions" says it's all about offering a choice.

Black Friday Scam: Phony Amazon App Promises Early Access to Deals
If a deal sounds too good to be true, beware. And if it’s a new Android app that promises to give you early access to Amazon’s Black Friday deals, be especially wary.
You know where this is going…
The security firm Zscaler Research first discovered the app, which the company says is designed to steal your personal information. When installed, the app apes the look of the Amazon icon to really sell the con.
Once you open the app, Zscaler says, it will launch a completely different app called com.android.engine. That will then ask you to grant the malware a slew of special permissions, including the ability to see your text messages, call logs, and contact information, as well as to send texts and make calls. It can even view your Web browser’s history.
Fake apps like this one can rack up huge charges on your bill by autodialing pay-by-the-minute phone lines operated by the attackers. (Image: Zscaler.com).
Here’s the kicker: Even if you delete the fake Amazon app, the secondary app will stay hidden on your device until you find and delete it, which can be tricky since it doesn’t have an app icon.
Zscaler doesn’t say what the information the app is collecting could be used for, though apps of this nature can be designed to hold your data for ransom.
The biggest thing to remember about apps like this is that they have to be downloaded from a third-party URL, not the Google Play Store. And to even install the app, you have to allow third-party app installations in the Android Settings menu. So getting this thing on your phone isn’t exactly as easy as downloading your Facebook app.
