Feels like I keep writing about this topic and now there is a burgeoning industry developing around the “digital afterlife”. Great artcile to read and yes, they do mention the bizarre Black Mirror episode “Be Right Back,” in which a bereaved young widow interacts with a digital avatar of her late husband. Over the course of the episode, she progresses from sending a few hesitant texts to a chatbot to purchasing a lifelike robot in her husband’s image – a must watch! Digital immortality is an interesting #digitalprivacy discussion among other things …. hmmm. #wakeupimagine #artificialintelligence #digitalafterlife
