MIT’s new AI chatbot project, “FutureYou,” simulates conversations with users’ potential future selves, providing insights to aid in decision-making. The project uses AI chatbots to facilitate conversations between individuals and their future selves, drawing inspiration from studies on interactions with older individuals. The chatbot operates through modules that guide users through reflective questions and generate simulated “memories” and experiences. User feedback has been positive, with many finding the experience insightful.
