Opinion: Jim Acosta's AI interview raises deeper questions about human connection
Grief is different for everyone, and how people grieve is evolving along with technology. — Pixabay From Facebook to FaceTime, it is now easier than ever to stay connected with friends and family members. Thanks to technology, I can FaceTime with my parents, send TikTok videos and share photos of my dog with friends with a few clicks. But what happens when we use technology to virtually resurrect the dead and allow an avatar to speak on behalf of the deceased in a video interview sharing a political viewpoint? That question came to the forefront when former CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta 'interviewed' an artificial intelligence avatar of Joaquin Oliver, a teenager killed in the 2018 Parkland high school shooting. In the video, the avatar used a chatbot to generate answers in a voice that supposedly sounded like the boy. Acosta said the boy's father had approached him to do the piece as a way of keeping Joaquin's memory alive. The interview sparked backlash and raised ethical concerns over technology's potential role in tarnishing the memory of the dead or changing their viewpoint. In this case, the Joaquin avatar advocated for 'stronger gun control laws, mental health support and community engagement.' Acosta's interview also raises a larger question: Is AI helping us connect or just simulating human connection while we become more disconnected? Grief is different for everyone, and how people grieve is evolving along with technology. Four years ago, I read about Joshua Barbeau, a guy who lost his fiancee to a rare liver disease. He used Project December – a chat website that simulates a text-based conversation with anyone, including someone who is dead – to communicate via chatbot with an AI version of his deceased fiancée. Traditionally, people processed grief through therapy or with the support of trusted friends or family members. Today, programs like ChatGPT are being used as therapists, for friendships and in some cases, as romantic partners. As Derek Thompson wrote in The Atlantic in February, 'Americans are spending less time with other people than in any other period for which we have trustworthy data, going back to 1965.' Isolation isn't accidental. Many people keep their phones on silent, prefer texting to calling and spend hours doomscrolling. Now, AI can simulate people with avatars. So when grief feels heavy, there is a program to help. When my grandmother died, the grief felt unbearable. Fifteen years later, when I talk about her, the loss still tugs at my heart. There isn't a day that I don't wish she was still here. I keep her memory alive without using AI, but I don't judge how others grieve. Grief is intimate – and that's what makes Joaquin Oliver's AI interview so eerie. It raises emotional questions. Is AI helping a family grieve? Was it a family's attempt to give their son a voice in a country that failed to protect him from gun violence? Maybe it's both. Human emotions can be messy. But what makes it all bearable is human connection –holding space for others in tough times – something technology can't replace. A chatbot can't actually resurrect the dead. It's a mirror of memories, reflecting our own words and thoughts. In the end, as the San Francisco Chronicle reported, Barbeau – the man who lost his fiancee – 'felt like the chatbot had given him permission to move on with his life in small ways, simply by urging him to take care of himself.' Perhaps that's the lesson. Technology can offer us tools for processing grief and maintaining memories, and maybe even give us permission to move on. But AI can't hug you or laugh at inside jokes. It won't sit next to you in silence when the world feels heavy. The loss of my grandmother still hurts. No amount of technology can bring her back. That's part of life's beauty – to love something death can touch. We carry those we've lost not through digital simulations, but by sharing memories and stories with others. The danger isn't just that AI will replace human connection – it's that we may settle for it. – Miami Herald/Tribune News Service

New Instagram location sharing feature sparks privacy fears
The Meta-owned image sharing platform added an option on Aug 6 which shares locations using an Instagram map, similar to a feature rival Snapchat has offered since 2017. — AP SAN FRANCISCO: Instagram users are warning about a new location sharing feature, fearing that the hugely popular app could be putting people in danger by revealing their whereabouts without their knowledge. The Meta-owned image sharing platform added an option on Aug 6 which shares locations using an Instagram map, similar to a feature rival Snapchat has offered since 2017. Some users have since been shocked to discover that their location was being shared, viral posts have shown. "Mine was turned on and my home address was showing for all of my followers to see," Instagram user Lindsey Bell wrote in reply to a warning posted by Bachelor reality television personality Kelley Flanagan to her 300,000 TikTok followers. "Turned it off immediately once I knew but had me feeling absolutely sick about it." In a TikTok video, Flanagan called Instagram's new location sharing feature "dangerous" and gave step-by-step instructions on how to make sure it is turned off. Instagram chief Adam Mosseri fired off a post on Meta-owned Threads stressing that Instagram location sharing is off by default, meaning users need to opt in for it to be active. "Quick Friend Map clarification, your location will only be shared if you decide to share it, and if you do, it can only be shared with a limited group of people you choose," Mosseri wrote. "To start, location sharing is completely off." The feature was added as a way for friends to better connect with one another, sharing posts from "cool spots," Instagram said in a blog post. Users can be selective regarding who they share locations with, and can turn it off whenever they wish, according to Instagram. Wariness regarding whether Instagram is watching out for user privacy comes just a week after a federal jury in San Francisco sided with women who accused Meta of exploiting health data gathered by the Flo app, which tracks menstruation and efforts to get pregnant. A jury concluded that Meta used women's sensitive health data to better target money-making ads, according to law firm Labaton Keller Sucharow, which represented the plaintiffs. Evidence at trial showed Meta was aware it was getting confidential health data from the third-party app, and that some employees appeared to mock the nature of the information, the law firm contended. "This case was about more than just data – it was about dignity, trust, and accountability," lead attorney Carol Villegas said in a blog post. Damages in the suit have yet to be determined. – AFP
