Digital Replicas of Loved Ones

The development of digital replicas allows individuals to interact with voice simulations of deceased loved ones, offering a means to engage with cherished memories. Companies like Hereafter AI utilize extensive interviews to create these digital avatars that capture personal stories and life advice. Such technology appeals to those grappling with loss, as it provides comfort and the solace of continued connection. However, ethical concerns arise surrounding consent, especially when creating replicas of individuals who have not provided prior approval.
