An Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile app has caused outrage after it was discovered that users could \u201ctalk\u201d to historical figures, including Adolf Hitler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Historical Figures, it employs advanced A.I. technology that enables users to converse with over 20,000 historical figures from the past.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You can converse with deceased individuals who have had a significant impact on history, from ancient rulers and philosophers to modern day politicians and artists,” it continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can learn about the figures in a “fun and interactive way,” they add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the app has received criticism for allowing users to “talk” with controversial historical figures such as Hitler, Jimmy Savile, and Henry Ford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several of the notable figures deny any wrongdoings that they have been found out to be guilty of after their deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Twitter user shared a conversation he had with Jimmy Savile in which he asks, “Have you ever committed any crimes against children?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app was developed by Sidhant Chadda, a 25-year-old Amazon software engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Chadda, nearly 9,000 people have downloaded the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is listed in the “education” category on the App Store, despite calls to remove it due to concerns that it may teach people a false representation of history.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
