It's a rare occasion that I have the chance to use a phrase like "digital necromancy" in a story, but just such an opportunity presented itself this week. I spoke with estate planning experts about the emerging concerns surrounding the prospect of posthumous AI avatars. It may sound like science fiction, but it's here.

Have you broached this subject with clients yet? Let me know — robert.burgess@arizent.com.

I hope you'll check out the article, along with the rest of this week's stories.

As always, thank you for reading. Talk to you next Thursday!
