What Are We Going to Do About Immortality?
after the screening of the film ETERNAL YOU, dir. Hans Block, Moritz Riesewieck
In 2024, the European Union adopted the Artificial Intelligence Act, while NGOs are increasingly raising the alarm about violations of civil and human rights by new technologies. At the same time, technological solutions are being developed to allow bereaved people to keep in touch with the dead. How far will we allow artificial intelligence to interfere with the most delicate aspects of the human psyche and moral principles established over millennia? Finally, can normative law be man's ally in the face of accelerating digitalisation? The screening of the film 'Second Chance', which tells the story of the “December” programme that makes it possible to create avatars of the dead and establish a relationship with them, will be a pretext for asking these questions. It remains to be seen what effect on our minds and emotions that contact with such constructed digital characters leaves.
