Deathbots, incredibly, have moved from science fiction to reality, providing bereaved individuals the ability to engage in conversation with a chatbot that mimics their deceased loved one's unique conversational style based on their digital footprint.
As these Deathbots integrate digital remains of the deceased, such as text messages and emails, they create an 'absent presence' that allows users to interact with a semblance of their loved ones, effectively traversing the boundaries of life and death.
Despite the emotional comfort that deathbots may offer, they also raise fundamental questions about identity, privacy, and the implications of preserving someone’s digital essence beyond their physical existence.
The development of multimodal deathbots, which can utilize both verbal inputs and audio outputs, hints at an expanding horizon for this technology, but also amplifies concerns regarding authenticity and the ethical dimensions of recreating deceased individuals.
