Reanimating the deceased with AI and synthetic media 🎬
‘Human Digital Remains’ and ‘Post-mortem authenticity’ are two new descriptions I encountered while creating this video: In which ways are synthetic media and AI being used to bring our deceased back to life? And what does the future hold?
It may be uncomfortable, but nevertheless important to have a discussion about these developments. I put a few interesting cases in this video for you. Hope it gets you thinking!
