Meta Patents AI To Simulate Deceased Users' Accounts
Meta was granted a patent in late December for an AI system that uses a large language model to simulate a person's social media activity when they are absent or deceased. The filing details training on user-specific historical data to like, comment, send DMs, and simulate audio/video interactions, though Meta says it has "no plans to move forward" and experts flag privacy and ethical issues.
Scoring Rationale
Official granted patent and spokesperson bolster credibility, but similar prior patents and Meta's stated non-pursuit limit immediate impact.
