The Many Faces of Indeterminacy in Interactive Deadbots
(IDBs) are presented as hyper-realistic avatars that use a person's likeness, voice, and personal data to simulate conversational interactions with them.

Pendant longtemps, le droit était resté muet sur cette question, le droit des données personnelles s'arrêtant à la mort de la…
