A lecturer from the College of Law at Al-Qadisiyah University co-authors a book on the theory of digital immortality.
The Modern Book Foundation from Lebanon has published a book titled “The Theory of Digital Immortality: When Identity Challenges Time in the Age of Artificial Intelligence – Immortal Minds, a Transient World” (A Legal Approach). The book is authored by Asist. Lec. Haider Salah Gat’a, a lecturer at the College of Law at Al-Qadisiyah University, with the participation of Prof. Dr. Jalil Hassan Al-Saadi from the College of Law at the University of Baghdad and Prof. Dr. Lubna Abdul-Hussein Issa Al-Saidi from the College of Law at Imam Ja’far Al-Sadiq University (peace be upon him).
The book includes a detailed explanation of the theory of immortality in a modernist context. It transforms the locus of immortality from the realm of metaphysics to a digital architecture that builds a digital soul from the human impact, from their texts, images, and interactions, mimicking their person without granting them consciousness. From this transformation arises the central question: To what extent can this extension be considered an existential and legal entity for a self whose body has passed away, but whose impact remains alive in the intelligent space?.
