The Ethics of Resurrecting the Dead

Activity: Talk or presentationPresentation

Description

Stefan Larsson presented ongoing research on fairness and uncanniness of creating individual chat bots based in specific individuals' data, particularly so for data from deceased persons. In doing so, he draws from a reading of a patent for individual chat bots, compared to contemporary capabilities presented in machine learning development on voice, face and images - analysed through the concept of uncanniness as presented by roboticist Masahiro Mori and psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. This is a chapter that will be part of a forthcoming anthology on Automated Futures.
