I think it would depend on how much training data was available about
the suspended person.
The more there is, the more realistic the AI avatar would be.
But it would only be imitating the past personality.

In the case of unexpected future conditions, then the AI would have to
make a best estimate. Or a guess, as we would say. If the training
data involved a lot of information about beliefs and values, then it
might be a reasonable guess.
It would be up to the future society to decide whether the reasoning
behind the guess was sound enough to be actionable.
After the Singularity though, the changes might be too great. But then
they could tinker with the revival process so that the revived person
would be happy, whatever the conditions were.
