Book launch: The Afterlife of Data

Two billion people will die within the next three decades alone. By 2065, the dead may outnumber the living on Facebook. These data are increasingly used to train new AI models, and even “resurrect” the dead as interactive avatars.

In The afterlife of data (University of Chicago Press), Carl Öhman draws on years of ground-breaking research to explore the social and political challenges that arise from this development. Who owns the digital past? And how does this shift the power balances of the web?

Welcome to a book launch where Carl Öhman discusses his new book The afterlife of data with Hans Ruin Professor of Philosophy at Södertörn University followed by mingle in the department lunch room. Hard cover books can be purchased for 145 SEK on site.
