Raising the Dead with AI

Communications of the ACM 

It now is possible to use technology to raise the dead. We haven't cracked the code on how to live forever, or discovered how to bring someone back to biological life. Instead, it has become much easier and more common to "resurrect" the dead by creating lifelike artificial intelligence (AI) avatars of them. Thanks to advancements in generative AI, artificial intelligence that can generate language, imagery, and audio (among other media), users are now able to speak with "ghostbots" that mimic people who have passed away. Think of it as ChatGPT for the dearly departed.
