Video Advance Directives & AI Patient Videos

Christopher Pelkey was killed in a road rage incident in 2021. But last month, artificial intelligence brought him back to life during his killer’s sentencing hearing. It was the first time that AI has been used to create a deceased victim’s own impact statement.

It was helpful to the judge to see and hear from the victim himself. Similarly, it helps healthcare surrogates and clinicians to see and hear from incapacitated patients themselves. I have written about video advance directives. But even when the patient fails to make a video themselves, perhaps the family can create a video of what the patient "would" have said.
