Dr Karen Sutherland from Uni SC joins us to explore how this AI could recreate a person’s voice, tone, and online behavior. Families may face complex psychological risks when interacting with digital clones of their loved ones, while questions of consent and control over a deceased person’s digital presence remain unsettled.
