Cyberpsychologist Elaine Kasket discussed the trend to use Generative AI to “resurrect” deceased loved ones with Meghan McCarty Carino on Marketplace by APM's podcast Marketplace Tech recently. More and more people are using these tools to turn an old photograph into a short animation or create entire "AI clones" trained on old audio, video or written diaries. Elaine explores whether these technological advancements are a healthy development.

Cyberpsychologist Dr Elaine Kasket joined Max Foster on CNN to discuss the latest online trend: The Rapture.

She shared her insights into how platforms like TikTok are creating echo chambers that give emotionally charged viral theories a unique power to influence the brain and give them credence.

Cyberpsychologist and author Dr Elaine Kasket contributed to a TIME article exploring the rise of AI resurrection and the increasing presence of the dead in our digital lives. She raises an important question: do these technologies truly reconnect us with those who have passed away, or do they preserve the illusion that they are still with us? Elaine warns that digital recreations may distort memory, disrupt the grieving process, and make it harder for us to come to terms with life’s natural impermanence.
