Generative AI Reanimates the Dead as Performers
|
6.1
Researchers report in a recent paper that generative AI is being used to digitally resurrect deceased people across platforms like TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, creating interactive audiovisual ‘resurrections’ of celebrities and victims. The practice raises urgent ethical questions about consent, data, ownership and exploitation and produces a distinctive melancholy by exposing the limits of technological presence.
Scoring Rationale
Research-based documentation highlights widespread, exploitative AI resurrections, but provides limited prescriptive governance or concrete mitigation strategies.
