MIT researchers have developed a new AI-powered chatbot that allows people to converse with future versions of themselves. This innovative model aims to help users reduce their anxieties about the future.👇

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a groundbreaking technology using generative AI.

The researchers have developed a new AI-powered chatbot that allows people to converse with their future selves.

Leveraging OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 model, the new AI tool named "Future You" can create highly realistic and natural conversations, as well as unique and personalized memories for each user.

Initially, the bot asks users a series of questions about themselves, their families, friends, past experiences, and future goals.

By doing so, Future You designs a possible future version of the user and also generates digitally aged photos depicting what they might look like at 60 years old.

The main goal of this new bot developed by MIT is to minimize the future-related anxieties and enhance the motivation of young people aged 18 to 30.

In experiments, 344 users who had the chance to test the new AI tool reported a reduction in their anxieties and negative thoughts after conversing with their future selves.
