Will AI Chatbots Of Dead Loved Ones Haunt Us?

In this episode, I speak to AI ethicists Katarzyna Nowaczyk-Basińska & Tomasz Hollanek, who work at Cambridge University's Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (LCFI)

I ask about their fascinating and important paper, "Griefbots, Deadbots, Postmortem Avatars: on Responsible Applications of Generative AI in the Digital Afterlife Industry".
