The subject of knowledge upload is very close to the mind upload concept. Research work has been done related to mind upload by Sotala, K., “Advantages of Artificial Intelligences, Uploads, and Digital Minds”, International Journal of Machine Consciousness, Volume 4, pp. 275–291, 2012. This author has discussed the advantages that can be achieved through mind upload. The concept of the Digital Mind in the paper covers both Human Mind as well as Artificial General Intelligence.
Similarly, the authors in Sotala, K., and Valpola, H., “Coalescing Minds: Brain Uploading-Related Group Mind Scenarios”, International Journal of Machine Consciousness, Volume 4, pp. 293-312, 2012. propose connecting two uploaded minds in order to get more advantages. The authors have discussed the benefits of this approach as well as the barriers in achieving it.
A much cited paper in the mind upload domain is Chalmers, D., "Mind Uploading: A Philosophical Analysis", The Journal of Consciousness Studies, Volume 17, pp. 7-65, 2010. Which provides the philosophical analysis of the mind uploading concept. This paper is an excerpt from “The Singularity: A Philosophical Analysis”, Published in The Journal of Consciousness Studies. In the paper along with other things the author has raised various questions related to the uploading concept like consciousness, personal identification etc. That is whether after uploading consciousness and personal identification can be achieved.
Sandberg and Bostrom Sandberg, A., and Bostrom, N., “Whole Brain Emulation: A Roadmap”, Future of Humanity Institute, Oxford University, 2008. have prepared a report that discusses the roadmap for Whole Brain Emulation. Initially the authors have provided a reasoning why this work should be done. The authors have discussed topics like neural simulation, body simulation, and environment simulation etc. The sub parts of environment include vision, hearing, smell and taste etc. Our approach for knowledge upload differs from them as we are utilizing the voice recognition and NLP (Natural Language Processing) technologies which are not utilized by the report authors.
In fact, we could not find detailed research work where the technologies mentioned in the paper are utilized for the purpose of knowledge upload therefore we can say that our approach regarding knowledge upload is different from the approaches utilized by the research community.
