- <p>The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies capable of recreating the voices, faces, and personalities of deceased individuals has initiated a new era of "digital immortality." These entities—commonly known as ghostbots, griefbots, or posthumous avatars—use personal data, large language models (LLMs), and generative AI to simulate interaction with the dead. This phenomenon redefines how people grieve, remember, and relate to those lost, while raising profound ethical, psychological, social, and legal challenges. This paper offers an extensive analysis of the implications of digital immortality, integrating interdisciplinary research from cognitive psychology, AI ethics, human-computer interaction (HCI), and data governance. Through empirical examples such as Microsoft’s chatbot patent, Replika’s grief models, and HereAfter AI, it evaluates both therapeutic potential and potential harms including emotional manipulation, consent violations, and posthumous privacy breaches. The study concludes by proposing a set of ethical frameworks, governance models, and design recommendations to ensure that digital immortality technologies evolve responsibly within humanistic and legal boundaries.</p>
