Artificial intelligence is changing the way we live, connect, and grieve but will digital immortality allow us to live forever? Digital immortality refers to uploading, storing, or transferring a person’s personality into a digital entity or cyberspace, or a computer. As the technology of digital immortality becomes more popular and available, people will find new ways of using AI-generated digital personas.
Our identity has already shifted from the photograph to online social networks and is increasingly moving towards AI technology. And this is where the real revolution begins, in AI and its ability to represent who we are because it is designed to replicate and converse with us. And the emergence of AI in the genealogy of portraiture is driven in part by our insatiable appetite to remain connected with our dead loved ones.
Death and bereavement are driving new ways to communicate with the deceased to give us digital immortality. As artificial intelligence grows in popularity, consumers can animate still photographs, create virtual living worlds or maintain ongoing interaction with the dead via a chatbot application.
