# Deadbot **Domain:** Digital Afterlife / AI / Grief Technology **Doc Type:** Canonical Concept **Maturity:** Developed **Evidence / Concept Status:** Regulatory foresight and academic term ## Definition A **Deadbot** is an interactive AI system trained or configured to simulate a deceased person using their digital traces. ## Continuity Significance Deadbots expose the distinction between memorial representation, impersonation, reconstruction, consent, and a genuine continuant. ## Existing Architecture / Evidence CNIL's 2025 foresight work explicitly examines conversational agents based on deceased persons. ## Evidentiary Boundary / Red-Team Note A deadbot should not be labeled the deceased person without evidence of continuity far beyond behavioral resemblance. ## Related Ontology [[wiki/Griefbot|Griefbot]] · [[wiki/Posthumous Avatar|Posthumous Avatar]] · [[wiki/Human Digital Remains|Human Digital Remains]] · [[wiki/Digital Replica|Digital Replica]] · [[wiki/Continuity Evidence vs Continuity|Continuity Evidence vs Continuity]] ## Sources / Provenance - https://cnil.fr/fr/cahier-ip-n10 <!-- BEGIN DEEP TIME CONTINUITY INTERFACE --> ## Deep-Time Continuity Interface This node is audited through [[wiki/Deep Time Continuity|Deep Time Continuity]] for future control-surface conversion, ontological drift, succession, irreversibility, due process, and resource incidence.
