Researchers have proposed the Afterlife Delegation Protocol, a speculative design for self-sovereign AI agents that can execute a person's will after their death. This protocol leverages blockchain technology, specifically an Ethereum Improvement Proposal draft named ERC-10001, to create immutable and decentralized agents. The project includes a web platform where individuals can design their agents, attach funds and memories, and rehearse their will in a sandbox environment, gathering qualitative data on what people wish to outlive them and how AI impacts various cultural beliefs about the afterlife.
