#UK #AI #GhostBots #Chatbots #Deepfakes: "Lack of data protection laws in the UK could see an increasing problem of AI “ghostbots” made from people’s digital footprints, new research from Queen’s University Belfast has suggested.
“Ghostbot” is a term used to describe what happens when artificial intelligence is used to create digital reincarnations of the dead.
The technology used to create this includes chatbots, deepfakes or holographs that can replicate the voice, face and even personality of a dead person using data from social media.
'Ghostbots' lie at the intersection of many different areas of law, such as privacy and property, and yet there remains a lack of protection for the deceased’s personality, privacy, or dignity after death."

@jkramersmyth “Given the apparent concern for the appropriation of personality post-mortem, possibly in defiance or ignorance of what the deceased would have wished, we propose an early solution to regulate the rise of #ghostbots, namely an enforceable ‘do not bot me’ clause in analogue or digital wills.”
What new fresh hell. Got work to do.
