What if a person’s death did not mean their end of life? What if their loved ones could still talk to them long after their body had been cremated or buried? What sounds like the scenario of a science fiction movie is already offered by AI startups today, and ETERNAL YOU examines the story of people who are immortalized as “digital doppelgangers,” allowing them to interact with loved ones. Filmmakers Block and Riesewieck explore one of the latest significant breakthroughs in AI technology. Through interviews with end-users, tech experts, journalists, programmers, and psychologists, a broad and analytical account reveals the far-reaching and often disturbing implications of this new technology. Can a digital entity compensate for the loss of a loved one? Who takes responsibility for the psychological and ethical consequences? And do we not have the right to forget?
