We know that death is about disruption, but that disruption must make sure that the deceased person is treated with utmost dignity, respect, and sensitivity. This is why Confinity.AI has launched a completely new technology platform, keeping up with the ethical considerations.
We have noticed that our competitors do not care much about the ethical implications of their technological innovation and advancements. So, we have come up with the right Code of Conduct following professional standards. Hence, we believe our implementation of ethics at this early stage will lead to a huge competitive advantage for our service.
In the recent AI developments, posthumous chatbots are in the limelight. It is considered as the individualized chatbots where the mimic of writing and speaking behavior of a dead person is preserved as an afterlife visual. Most of the platforms are already created and under development, practicing ethical considerations.
One of the important ethical considerations in AI resuscitation of deceased people is the issue of consent. Restoring a deceased person’s image, voice, and personality using AI raises the question of whether they explicitly consented to such entertainment during their lifetime.
Therefore, it is an urgent issue that needs to consider the ethical implications of posthumous chatbots. The previous ethical theories have always relied on considerations related to the dignity of the deceased. This is why we propose shifting the focus to the autonomy and dignity of the bereaved users of posthumous bots.
According to Krueger and Osler, Posthumous Chatbots represent internet-enabled effective niches. It shows that the Internet is offering dynamic and ongoing interactions with chatbots. It will offer a novel form of structuring the affective contours of the grief processes. Therefore, Posthumous Chatbots can influence their user’s effect and impact. While the creation of effective niches is considered an intentional process, internet-enabled techno-social niches impact their users in unintended ways, leading to overreliance and overregulation.
We ensure nothing gets complicated for our users in their journey of witnessing and cherishing the afterlife moments of their loved ones.
