Pt 1: What Happens to Your Data When You Die? | Dr Elaine Kasket
•
Dr Elaine Kasket is a cyberpsychologist and expert in how our digital choices shape our experiences.
There’s no doubt that technology is at the core of pretty much everything we do now, and many of us couldn’t imagine our lives without it. But is our relationship with technology as good as it could be?
In part one, Elaine and Dr Alex George explore the concept of ‘digital remains’ and what happens to a person’s data and social media platforms once they pass away.
Plus, Elaine explains how technology can’t provide a shortcut through grief, and why it’s vital to remember that, no matter how convincing it may seem, artificial intelligence can never truly replicate human emotion.
