Authors derive a two-tier structure of auditable design constraints that operationalizes ethical principles for AI-mediated afterlife systems, providing a concrete bridge to governance.
As of the June 2026 publication date, the authors describe a rapid proliferation of AI-mediated digital afterlife technologies and a growing ethical literature on their risks, without a matching operational framework. They propose a nine-dimensional taxonomy and a two-tier constraint model where consent, fidelity/disclosure, and purpose serve as threshold conditions for permissibility.
