What Happens To Your Digital Footprint After You Die?

Description:

Have you ever wondered what happens to your online presence after you die?

Now with technology like AI and holograms, we're seeing a rise in reanimations to create a version of someone deceased to interact with long after they're gone. 

We've seen Tupac and Michael Jackson appear via hologram at concerts, Kim Kardashian's famous father was immortalised as a birthday present to her and just last year The Beatles released a new single using AI technology to isolate John Lennon's voice from a late 1970's demo. 

But how would you feel if someone reanimated you using your digital footprint? In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at the moral and ethical arguments around what to do with your digital remains.
