Considérations éthiques liées à l’immortalité artificielle : quelques repères quand la technologie défie la mort

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling new forms of life extension, including postmortem avatars.

This "reappearance" can sometimes occur voluntarily, but at other times, it happens without the consent of the families or close ones. What should we think about this emerging way of "prolonging existence"? What are the main risks and ethical challenges raised by this practice? Knowing and understanding the key ethical issues is a crucial step in preserving human dignity while avoiding potential ethical pitfalls.
