Future You simulates your future self so can chat with them

An AI system called Future You, developed by researchers from MIT, allows people to talk with an older version of themselves. As part of an attempt to reduce anxiety and help young people make better choices,  Future You offers an AI-generated version of yourself to talk to. It comes in the form of a text-based conversation of a potential future simulation and hopes to improve young people’s sense of future self-continuity. Having a stronger connection with your future self is thought to improve how people make long-term decisions, such as contributing to financial savings or focusing on academics. How does Future You work? The large language model pulls on information provided by the user to create a virtual version of them at the age of 60.
