This commentary critically examines the ethical implications of ghostbots from a Confucian perspective. Ghostbots are AI-powered digital replicas of deceased individuals; they simulate the appearance, voice, and personality of the deceased through machine learning and affective computing. The unregulated usage of these technologies of digital immortality risks eroding traditional moral and ritual boundaries between the living and the dead.
