Uploads probably won't be possible until after AGI is developed.
What is possible now is creating digital clones or copies of people.

Some people have done this for relatives that have recently died, so
that they can converse with their image while recovering from grief.
This is usually only temporary, until they reach acceptance of their loss.

There are other several other examples that can be found by a search.
