Recreating life in chatbot and avatars using posthumous data
Abstract
The recreation of the afterlife from the user's digital legacy is already a reality, which can be conceived via chatbot and avatars. Therefore, we carried out a survey in order to analyze the opinions and acceptance of people in relation to the collection of their personal data, including those from social networks, for a possible posthumous interaction. The qualitative approach research used for data collection was the application of a questionnaire that was answered by 112 people. Based on the survey data, we realized that the opinions of the participants are divided, some find it interesting to use digital immortality to help mourn loved ones, and others problematize issues involving ethics and privacy.
