Abstract

<p>Various attempts to revive deceased through artificial intelligence (AI) and human robotics (Android) technology do not seem to stop.</p><p>From Emmy, a 1980s’ program that used to automatically compose Bache-style numbers, to mock Rembrandt, Osamu Tezuka and Beetles AI, and Soseki Natsume and Hibari Misora, who were “resurged” as android or AI having 3D image.</p><p>The resurrection of the deceased has the potential to change our lives and our views of life and death, transcending mere business opportunities, such as changing the form of Buddhist altars and relics, or the "virtual survival" of stars and charismatic leaders of every sort of organization.</p><p>Legally, this "revival of the late person" requires examination and clearance of portrait rights, publicity rights, copyrights and other rights depending on the type of resurrection.</p><p>According to the current laws and prevailing understanding, it seems possible to interpret that certain degree of resurrection can be done without the need to clear related rights, but in reality, most cases are proceeding with at least the consent of surviving families.</p><p>However, there are many cases in which people feel ethical and emotional discomfort with the revival of the deceased, such as AI Hibari Misora (regardless of whether or not the family approves), which has led to criticisms such as "profanity."</p><p>It is perhaps a crucial inquiry that goes beyond the "uncanny valley" problem that is commonly found in android (or has the same causes at the root) to the conduct itself of "reviving deaths."</p><p>Under what rules should the revival of the late person be conducted?</p><p>Although it is rarely addressed in discussions about global AI and robotics development, it seems to be a suitable time to begin the discussion.</p>
