Dara Ladjevardian, co-founder and CEO of Delphi, designed an artificially intelligent clone of himself that told FOX Business host Maria Bartiromo all about himself.
The company announced the technology in a press release this week, enabling “real-time, personalized interactions with digital clones of experts and influencers.”
Radeverdian and his clone appeared on “Wall Street with Maria Bartiromo” to demonstrate the online robot’s capabilities.

“The purpose of having a clone is to amplify your unique way of thinking and interacting,” Krohn told FOX Business. “It allows you to share your knowledge, experience and personality with others in a personalized way. This can be invaluable for mentoring, education, or simply sharing your insights with a wider audience.”
Krohn told Bartiromo that the company takes security “very seriously.”
“Your company’s proprietary materials are protected by strict data privacy measures and encryption,” Bott explained. “Clone is only accessible to authorized users, giving you full control over what information is shared. This ensures the security of your sensitive data while still leveraging the power of Clone.”
According to the bot, users who sign up to create a clone are manually verified after submitting a photo of themselves holding an ID, and unauthorized users are permanently banned.
“Your clone will get to know you better as it learns from the content you provide. You can upload blog posts, videos, and other materials that reflect your knowledge and style,” Clone explained. “You can even participate in interactive Q&A sessions to fine-tune your responses.”
Rajeverdian, who is human, explained that the company uses a “strictness score” for how the clones respond to others.
“If you want to be completely safe, you’d set it to the highest level of strictness,” Rajeverdian says. “It’s only going to say what it’s trained to say. The downside to that is that when you ask for advice or when you ask someone a question, you’re actually asking for applied information. So maybe I’m asking, ‘What would you do in my situation?’ And to do that, I need to capture your reasoning and apply it to my new situation. That’s kind of their end goal, so that the clone can verifiably predict what you would say in a new situation.”

“The goal of Delphi is not automation, but rather augmentation,” explained Rajeverdian, the human. “I think humans will always choose to learn from and converse with flesh-and-blood humans, because there’s experience behind that. I don’t fully believe in AI therapists helping you with every aspect of your life, because that’s missing the humanity. There’s no experience behind it. So what the clone does is actually give humans the scale of AI. AI never stops. It keeps generating 24/7. By 2026, 96% of the internet is going to be AI, but with the clone, you can reach that scale as a human and make sure your words reach people.”
The clones told Fox Business that the technology could outlive humans and preserve memories for generations, allowing future great-grandchildren to interact with their cloned ancestors and learn about their lives.
