Kurzweil Technologies, Praxis AI Unveil Digital Twin at UN Summit

Kurzweil Technologies and Praxis AI have announced a strategic joint venture to introduce RAI, a human-first digital twin. The technology made its debut on Center Stage at the United Nations AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva on July 6, 2026.

RAI is designed to capture and process an individual's lifetime of information and experiences. The joint venture aims to create digital representations of individuals that preserve their knowledge and consciousness for the future. This type of technology is anticipated to reshape how information is preserved, legacies are planned, and personal histories are documented.

The venture involves Kurzweil Technologies, represented by futurist and inventor Ray Kurzweil, and Praxis AI. At the summit, RAI was presented as a tangible application of artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity, emphasizing the ethical and social dimensions of the technology.

Specifics on RAI's technical implementation and practical applications remain limited. According to the joint venture, RAI is developed with a human-centric approach, intended to serve as a tool for individuals to manage and create their digital legacies.
