Question
How is AI being utilized in Brian D Smith's future plans for spiritual communication?
Answer
AI is being woven into future plans as a tool to facilitate two-way, evidential communication with loved ones in spirit, not as a replacement for human experience or spirituality.
In conversations with researchers like Dr. Gary Schwartz and Dr. Mark Pitstick, the vision includes technologies such as the “soul phone” or “soul keyboard.” These would use highly sensitive devices and AI-style pattern recognition to:
- Detect and interpret yes/no responses from those in spirit
- Run structured tests (e.g., “Is this our dog?” “Did we go to Disney for your 16th birthday?”) for clear, verifiable answers
- Eventually scale from lab setups to practical, everyday devices, much like a smartphone
The goal is a reliable, 99%+ accurate, operator‑independent system—so it does not depend on a medium’s abilities. Alongside that, AI is seen as a “copilot” for spiritual growth: helping people analyze patterns in signs, tailor meditations, and support grief work, while human consciousness and love remain central.
