  • LEVEL0

    When someone dies, people often feel very sad and miss them. Now, AI chatbots can talk like the dead person.

    These bots use pictures and emails to copy the person. They may reduce the pain of loss. However, many people worry about using personal data from dead people. Some think companies make money from sadness.

    These bots can also make it hard to accept the death. Some people may depend on the chatbot too much.

    People often wish to talk with loved ones after a death. Now, AI enables this through chatbots called “griefbots.” However, they are causing ethical concerns.

    These bots use images, emails, and online posts to copy the deceased. Some companies say their bots can ease the pain of loss. However, many people have concerns about using the deceased’s personal data. Some say the bots profit from grief.

    Griefbots are also very realistic. As a result, they could delay acceptance of a death or even cause emotional dependence on them.

  • LEVEL2

    Grief after a death can be complex and painful, with people often wishing to speak to lost loved ones again. Now, artificial intelligence enables this through chatbots called “griefbots.” Inevitably, ethical concerns have emerged, especially around privacy and consent.

    These bots use photos, videos, emails, and online posts to precisely mimic the deceased. Some companies claim the goal is to help mourners heal and find emotional closure. However, many question the ethics of using the deceased’s personal data without consent. Some view the bots positively as a way to remember, while others say they exploit grief for profit.

    Additionally, griefbots are so realistic that they may blur the line between life and death. Consequently, they may affect the natural mourning process, delaying acceptance or causing emotional dependence on the technology.
