The Virtual Afterlife: AI, Death, and the Future of Human Legacy

As artificial intelligence becomes more deeply woven into the fabric of human life, it is beginning to transform how we face its end. The Virtual Afterlife delves into one of the most provocative frontiers of our digital era: the intersection of AI and mortality. From mourning bots that simulate conversations with the deceased to the rise of digital inheritance and virtual legacies, Tibor Szenessy investigates how technology is reshaping grief, memory, and the boundaries of life itself.

This groundbreaking work explores the ethical, psychological, and cultural implications of digital afterlife technologies. What does it mean to interact with a digital version of a loved one? Who owns our data after death? Can we ever truly say goodbye in a world where the dead can speak again?

Combining philosophical inquiry with real-world case studies, The Virtual Afterlife offers a compelling and deeply human look at the future of remembrance in the age of artificial intelligence.
