How far may the deceased's double speak

2056The far futureDeadline · 40 days until the after-death service contract is renewed

A leap assumed

All people, institutions, events, figures, and future technologies in every issue are a synthetic premise. Background documents are sources for topic discovery and are not evidence of future facts or probabilities.

The question to decide

A service that converses from the deceased's records also responds to new requests, but the consent given in life did not cover new contracts or public statements. Between family members who want to keep the relationship going and those who want it ended, how should the survivors decide whether the service continues, who may use it, and what effect new statements have?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Limit the purpose to remembrance conversations

    It leaves access to memory but must keep checking boundaries in present conversations.

  2. Option 2

    Allow separate use by each family member

    It respects each person's grief but produces different images of the deceased.

  3. Option 3

    Stop new generation and preserve original records

    It stops the expansion of speech but increases the loss of families who relied on the service.

The situation as it stands

The service converses with families based on past records and also responds to new requests. Decision deadline: 40 days until the after-death service contract renews.

Fictional premise: an after-death conversation service

  1. Premise 1The service converses with families based on past records and also responds to new requests.
  2. Premise 2The deceased's consent in life allowed remembrance conversations but did not address new contracts or public statements.
  3. Premise 3Some of the bereaved see the service as a continuation of the relationship, while others want it ended.

Where it holdsSets the service's use and disclosure of consented records. It cannot create the deceased's actual intent or other people's relationships anew.

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1How far the scope extends in allowing generated utterances beyond consent given in life
  2. Unknown 2The degree to which people outside the family believe the conversation to be the actual promise of the deceased

Signals to decide again

  • Define the observation, responsible party, and confirmation channel that will check "how far the scope extends in allowing generated utterances beyond consent given in life", and reconsider the decision if new findings change the tradeoffs of the options.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

A record is found in which the service promised support to a third party in the name of the deceased.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

A separate memo appears indicating that the deceased wanted generation stopped after a certain point.

What losses does the very procedure for revealing the truth inflict on the stakeholder?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
