Digital Resurrection: Should we allow AI to bring deceased actors back to the screen for new roles?

With the advancement of generative AI and deepfake technology, filmmakers can now realistically "resurrect" deceased actors to star in new films. Proponents argue that this preserves cinematic legacies, satisfies fan nostalgia, and is a legitimate economic activity when consented to by the actors' estates. Opponents contend that it violates the dignity and likeness rights of the deceased, deprives living actors of job opportunities, and compromises the authenticity of artistic expression.
