Filming has begun in Glasgow on Almost You, a sci-fi comedy about a robotics engineer who creates an AI replica of her dead sister using years of messages, videos and social media posts. Juno Temple and James McAvoy lead the cast, British Comedy Guide reports.
Why it mattersThe premise puts a familiar, increasingly practical question into a distinctly uncomfortable frame: when does a digital likeness become more than a collection of someone’s old data? The film is in production; no release date is given. Its fictional technology is a story premise, not a report of a real AI system bringing anyone back.
Discuss: If someone’s messages and videos were used to create an AI version of them, should their family be allowed to decide what happens to it?
