Who gets to be you when the real you is gone?

Watch first

AI is getting weird.

Not someday weird. Black Mirror sequel weird right now. Kanye gifted Kim an interactive hologram of her dead dad. AI replicas are running businesses. Digital avatars of murder victims have appeared in an Arizona court. Funeral services now ask families if they want to digitally resurrect loved ones from their online activity. But most of us have never been asked what we would want.

Would you want an interactive AI replica of yourself to exist?
Could your children talk to it?
Could it write new books in your name?
Could it keep working or earning money?
Who could use your voice or face?
Who could shut it down?

There are no correct answers. What matters is that the choice should be yours.

Questions no previous generation had to answer

The quiz asks you to consider questions that did not meaningfully exist a generation ago.

01

Would you want a chatbot trained on your messages to speak as you after death?

02

Could your children talk to a cloned voice or holographic version of you?

03

Should AI be allowed to finish your unfinished books, courses, music or creative work?

04

Could an interactive AI replica of you keep working, teaching or earning money?

05

Could your private journals, family texts or ChatGPT history be used to build your AI replica?

06

Would you want your life story preserved as an interactive hologram — a living archive future generations could visit?

What Perpetua is building

A new kind of will for the parts of you AI can imitate.

Perpetua is creating a plain-language personal directive — something like an AI will. It helps you clearly record what you want to happen to:

your voice and face
your ChatGPT and other AI accounts
your private messages and digital history
your writing and creative work
your AI agents
any future digital version of your personality

You decide who, what, when and how.

Who

Who may access your accounts, data and digital identity?

What

What may be preserved, deleted, inherited or used to create an interactive AI replica of you?

When

When may your voice, likeness or replica be used — and for how long?

How

May it speak with family, finish creative work, teach, work or earn money?

You can also issue a Do Not Bot Me mandate that prohibits all digital resurrection.

The Perpetua Directive is designed to document your wishes clearly and support incorporation into formal estate-planning documents. Legal effect depends on jurisdiction and proper execution.

Why the quiz matters

Add your voice to the future.

Your responses help Perpetua understand how ordinary people really feel about griefbots, digital ghosts, voice cloning and AI replicas of the dead — and what they want done with their own digital remains and digital remnants. Together we can shape the culture and build the tools of protection, instead of leaving these decisions to technology companies alone.

You're not just taking a personality quiz. You're helping build the first Directory that technology companies must check before they bring anyone back.

If a person has written Do Not Bot Me into their Perpetua Directive, that decision stands.

Perpetua — a tree, symbol of rootedness and continuity

About

About Perpetua

Perpetua helps people think through and document what should happen to their digital identity and artificial representations after death or incapacity. We build practical tools for questions traditional wills were never designed to answer — while advancing public research around AI, consent, identity and human dignity.

Technology should not decide what happens to your voice, face, personality or legacy. You should.

Perpetua was founded by Canadian bestselling author, communications strategist and researcher Emily Bauman.

She has researched, published and built capacity for UN Migration (IOM), Oxfam, Oxford University Press, Minority Rights Group International and Save the Children — and authored award-winning refugee policy for the Government of Canada.

The technology already exists.

The cultural rules & protection tools do not.

Take 6 minutes to decide where you stand, discover your AI Afterlife Archetype, and take the first step in protecting your identity and expressing your wishes.
