digital immortality
Forever through technology
Digital immortality is the hypothetical preservation of a person's mind, personality, or identity through technology—whether by uploading consciousness to a computer, maintaining AI replicas trained on someone's data, or simply leaving behind an extensive digital footprint that outlives the physical body.
The concept ranges from speculative neuroscience to existing services that let the dead "speak" through chatbots: Her grandmother achieved a kind of digital immortality through the videos she left behind.
Also called virtual immortality.
