Digital immortality: On new forms of care, responsibility, and empathy in the age of AI
Fri 25 October 2024
Intellectual Forum, Jesus College
We have entered an era where our digital immortality is almost as inevitable as our death.
Though digital immortality-related technologies have existed since the 1990s, with the growing amount of data and the advent of new technologies—especially the recent emergence of large language models—the way we experience death, dying, and immortality is changing significantly.
With these changes have come ethical, cultural, philosophical, political, and even environmental challenges and risks. How can we plan for this new aspect of death?
In this lecture, Dr Katarzyna Nowaczyk-Basi?ska will trace the digital afterlife industry’s shift from niche digital-immortality-related experiments to the fully independent commercial market, considering how we might develop this rapidly emerging industry in a culturally-sensitive, responsible way.
