When Lucy Simic was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2018, she wondered how to spend the time she had left — and what kind of legacy she’d leave behind. In the years since, she’s collaborated with ReimagineAI CEO David Usher to develop LucyAI, an interactive chatbot trained on her thoughts and memories. It’s an early example of what could become a new form of memoir or scrapbook for the 21st century. At a gallery in New York City, Clare speaks with Lucy (both the real and digital versions) and David about what it’s like to preserve real-life memories with this technology.
