It would be a different AI though. So you can do that with people...
Yep, and cloning technology is getting ever closer to making identical genetic copies of an actual person, so it won't be too long in the grand scheme of things before you can in fact kill a person and restart them from birth on identical hardware with only the training data being different.
A person is their experiences though, the meat shell on its own can't ever become the person killed without experiencing life in the exact same way and at the same time as the previous one.
