As Exit Strategy closes out 2025, we dedicate these episodes to the memory of our producer, Glenn Rosenkrantz, with gratitude for his creativity, care, and partnership.

In this episode, we confront a question that once belonged to science fiction: What if the dead could still speak to us? Albert Han of the Thomson Reuters Foundation joins Exit Strategy host Stephanie Garry to explore how artificial intelligence is entering the most intimate spaces of grief. Together, they examine the emotional, ethical, and spiritual implications of creating AI avatars that allow loved ones to remain “alive” — present, responsive, and ongoing — long after death. What does this mean for mourning, memory, and our ability to let go?
