The dead need right to delete their data so they can't be AI-ified, lawyer says

I'm a 53 year old dad of a 4 year old son (the only kid I will ever have). Mortality looms. Who will advise him if something happens to me, other than a super intelligent AI who knows my values at a deep level and can imitate my responses?

I understand the motivation but I think there are dangers for your digital twin: https://qntm.org/mmacevedo

A reasonable facsimile of me would suffice IMHO. That link's clearly speculative science fiction based in unproven materialism ;)

Fair enough. As a father of a 20-something year old my experience tells me your belief that your child will listen to your advice or be influenced by your deep-held values is also pretty fanciful ;) But you are in the golden years with your son and I envy you that, good luck!
