Can AI bring back the voices of those we've lost? In Episode 31 of Window to the Future, we dive into the world of "Deadbots"—AI chatbots trained on the digital footprints of the deceased. We explore the technology that allows us to text and call the dead, the comfort it brings to the grieving, and the haunting ethical questions of consent and psychological healing.
