June 6, 2024AI’s Role in Preserving Voices of the Deceased
A new AI-powered platform, Eternos, allows grieving families to engage with the voices and experiences of their deceased loved ones. This technology, exemplified by the case of terminally ill Michael Bommer, uses AI to create a comprehensive, interactive version of a person. Bommer, along with Eternos CEO Robert LoCascio, developed this system to allow his family to converse with his AI-simulated voice after his death, providing a novel way to cope with loss.
The Growing Market of GriefTech
Eternos is part of a burgeoning industry of grief-related AI technologies. Other notable companies, such as StoryFile and HereAfter AI, offer similar services that enable interactions with digital avatars of deceased individuals. These platforms utilise pre-recorded videos or AI-generated conversations to help the bereaved maintain connections with their loved ones.
