Artificial Intelligence, Digital Immortality, Digital LegacyAbstract
The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed several areas and the possibility of digitally recreating deceased educators is one of the developments of this revolution. This innovation arouses both enthusiasm and concerns, because, while it allows new ways of preserving the legacy of educators for future generations, it also has ethical implications. Given this scenario, through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), we seek to analyze the literature in the area with a view to identifying educators' perceptions about the digital recreation of educators by Artificial Intelligence and the ethical implications that emerge from this possibility. To this end, the method of using Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome (PICO) parameters was adopted in the formulation of the research questions, and the bibliographic search was carried out in the ACM Digital Library, CAPES and Google Scholar databases. After the selection process, 12 studies were considered relevant among the 365 initially identified. It is noticeable that the literature on the subject is still limited, especially empirical studies. Among others, it is concluded that the practice of recreating educators through Artificial Intelligence requires clear guidelines to guarantee its ethical and beneficial application.
