The advent of AI technology has opened up new possibilities for remembering and interacting with the deceased. AI ghostbots, digital avatars of the dead, are now a reality, created using generative AI programs and deep fake technology. These ghostbots can look and talk eerily similar to the person you lost, providing solace to the grieving and a chance to express things they wanted to but never had.
The use of AI to create digital avatars of the deceased, known as “ghostbots,” raises complex ethical concerns. These ghostbots can look and talk eerily similar to the person you lost, providing solace to the grieving and a chance to express things they wanted to but never had. However, the use of such technology raises questions about privacy, consent, and the potential for misuse or exploitation. As this technology continues to evolve, it is important to carefully consider the ethical implications and establish appropriate safeguards to protect the rights and dignity of the deceased and their loved ones.
