What happens when artificial intelligence allows us to see, hear, and even converse with loved ones who have died? In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code, I explore how AI is transforming the ways we remember, mourn, and maintain emotional connections with those who are no longer with us.
From AI-generated family reunions shared during Undas to griefbots and digital ghosts that simulate conversations with the deceased, technology is introducing new possibilities for remembrance. Drawing on anthropology and the psychology of continuing bonds, this episode examines the emotional meaning of these synthetic encounters, alongside questions of identity, consent, and the commercialization of grief.
AI may recreate a familiar face, imitate a beloved voice, or generate the conversation we never had. But resemblance is not identity, and simulation is not continued existence. As technology offers new ways to hold on a little longer, we must ask whether these digital encounters help us live with loss or make it harder to accept that someone is truly gone.
