Description
Nini Cheng, Weitao Huang, and Mei Sun survey Chinese college students about AI copies of dead people, built from their photos, voice, and chats. Their 2026 study asks what makes young people accept or reject such digital resurrection. The topic raises hard questions about consent and grief.
Nearly a thousand students answered the online survey. Students who used AI more and who felt its harms were easier to foresee tended to accept the idea. Fear of AI cut both ways, depending on the scene described. Students who had lost a loved one, and medical students, were more open. About half said the wishes of both the dead person and the family should count before any copy is made.
