Are you the type of person that likes to plan ahead? Who gets what in the will? What will it cost for the funeral service? Who’s going to manage your Twitter account?

Look no further than London-based ad agency LivesOn, who’s tagline is, “When your heart stops beating, you’ll keep tweeting.”

How does it work?  This is an artificial intelligence experiment by LivesOn in collaboration with Queen Mary University in London and plans to start testing as soon as possible. LivesOn will create a new Twitter profile for you while you’re still alive and analyzes your already existing account for your tastes, interests and syntax.  As time goes on, LivesOn will start to post updates after learning your style.  Users will be able to favorite tweets, which will give feedback and increase the system’s intelligence.  When the time comes, you can nominate an “executor” on your LivesOn will and they will decide whether to keep your account live or not.

So, would you use LivesOn? What do you think about carrying on a digital legacy in the afterlife? And do you think that this is evolutionary in a way? That inevitably, man will use technology to somehow live on?  Or do you just think this is downright creepy?  Leave us a comment and tell us what you think about this strange, new phenomenon!
