On Road – British Columbia to Ontario

What if you could truly converse with history? I’m not talking about reading a biography, but stepping into the mind of a historical figure, understanding their thoughts in their own ‘voice.’ The movie Her, with its ‘philosopher AI’ concept, sparked this idea. What if an AI, by learning everything about a person, could embody their unique perspective?

This led me to Bhagat Singh, the iconic Indian revolutionary. To avoid biases found in typical historical accounts, I’m feeding an AI only his published letters, pamphlets, and writings. My goal is to use this primary source data to explore his evolving ideologies, his profound focus at a young age, and the external and internal factors that shaped him.
