As AI technology advances, grief bots or AI ghosts are created to mimic loved ones, causing ethical dilemmas. Despite emotional comfort they provide for some, concerns about privacy rights and the potential for misrepresentation of the deceased's personality persist. Many individuals are uncomfortable with the concept of 'AI resurrections' and believe it complicates the grieving process. Experts in estate planning are urged to consider provisions that would allow people to prevent their likeness from being used in AI formats posthumously.
Having photos or videos of lost loved ones is a comfort. But the idea of an algorithm, which is as prone to generate nonsense as anything lucid, representing a deceased person's thoughts or behaviors seems terrifying.
Not everybody wants to become an AI ghost. After a realistic video simulation was recently used to provide a murder victim's impact statement in court, the use of AI was 'just as unsettling as you think.'
