SUMMARY:The Fear of Oblivion
DESCRIPTION:Can you truly die in the digital age? \nIn this lecture\, Professor Fontanini examines the ethical dimensions of death and mourning in the digital age\, a field of study known as cyberthanatology. He explores the implications of digital immortality\, where artificial intelligence\, virtual reality and mind-uploading technologies simulate aspects of human identity beyond death\, and at the same time raise questions around autonomy\, privacy and the commodification of grief.  \nThought-provoking\, human and future-facing\, this lecture invites us to reflect not only on how technology may reshape death\, but also on what it means to preserve dignity\, authenticity and our shared humanity in life. \nVenue: Gallery\n\n\nEthical Perspectives on Digital Immortality and Cyberthanatology\nRSVP here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe874biBFOlmYhfcufNmtks4nBlpa6SzG92XATmBwzfl_7D2g/viewform?usp=pp_url)\n*Speaker*: Walter Fontanini\n*Event Categories*: Health & Wellness\, Philosophy\, Policy & Regulation\, Science\, Technology
