A griefbot is an AI-powered chatbot designed to simulate conversations with deceased individuals, often using data from their digital footprint such as emails, social media posts, and messages. While some people use griefbots for comfort or closure, these technologies raise significant cybersecurity and ethical concerns. Risks include unauthorized access to sensitive personal data, identity theft, and emotional manipulation. Cybercriminals could exploit griefbots to impersonate the deceased for phishing or social engineering attacks. Additionally, griefbots may inadvertently expose private conversations or information if not properly secured. As their use grows, robust security measures and ethical guidelines are essential to protect users and the memories of the deceased.
