Digital Remembrance and Immortality: The Role and Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Modern Mourning Practices
摘要: 随着数字技术的发展,其在生死议题上的影响日益显著,引发了广泛的讨论。数字不朽和虚拟已故者的概念已经成为社会学、传播学和心理学研究的热点。尽管这些聊天机器人有助于缓解悲伤情绪,但这种技术在提供情感慰藉的同时,也引发了社会、伦理和法律的广泛讨论,让人们对于生命、死亡和数字技术重新进行了思考。本文章则探讨了AI如何成为人们缅怀逝去亲人的工具,以及这一现象背后数字不朽的社会和带来的心理、伦理影响,深入思考这些新兴技术如何重塑我们对死亡、记忆和社会纽带的理解,以及未来该如何应对。
Abstract: With the development of digital technology, its impact on life and death issues has become increasingly significant, which has triggered a wide range of discussions. The concepts of digital immortality and virtual dead have become a hot topic in sociology, communication and psychology. While these chatbots can help ease feelings of sadness, the technology, while providing emotional relief, has also sparked broad social, ethical and legal discussions that are rethinking life, death and digital technology. This article explores how AI has become a tool for people to remember their loved ones, the social and psychological implications of digital immortality, and how these emerging technologies are reshaping our understanding of death, memory, and social bonds, and what to do about them in the future.
