Being a researcher in AI and machine learning, all I can say is that it actually it sounds like lame marketing buzz to increase research funding...

Robots have both hardware and software for their functioning just like anything else that can be programmed. So, transferring those software programs between compatible platforms is as high tech as browsing the same internet through Windows, Mac and Unix.

I did inititally think about GitS, but the main difference would be that the "ghosts" in that case were essentially the actual human soul. Although I guess especially in the "Stand Alone Complex" TV series they have been exploring the question of whether or not the AI's for the Tachikomas have "ghosts" or not.
