Digital immortality is the concept of preserving a person’s consciousness, personality, or memories in digital form so that their identity can continue beyond biological death. It combines fields such as artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and data preservation to create digital replicas or “mind uploads” capable of interacting with others. While still theoretical, research in brain mapping, generative AI, and memory modeling has made digital immortality a recurring topic in discussions about the future of identity, ethics, and human–machine integration.
