Can Artificial intelligence be Harmful to Us?

During class, we watched an episode of Black Mirror titled, "Be Right Back". I believe its content to be extremely controversial, wondering if artificial intelligence advancements will be helpful to our society or damaging.  Within the episode, a woman loses her husband to a car accident and is able to reconnect with him by giving his: social media, videos of his voice, and photos of him in order to eventually completely replicate his body as a life-like robot. Personally, I believe that this can only be damaging to a person's mental health because they will not be able to grieve the loss of their loved one, but instead putting up a facade. Although I believe this, we discussed in class how we may feel weird about this technology, but this is how many people in the past may have felt towards photographs or other kept belongings of the deceased. It may be completely possible that we are uncomfortable with this intelligence because it is not the societal norm, much like how photos are now. This episode brought to light many questions about why having a robot version of a deceased person may be helpful or non helpful to your situation. Specifically, when the wife within the show has a child, she allows her minimal time with the robot version of her father, but she is fully aware that it is not him. This is a strange thing to grasp for me, because when you think about it this is much like showing your daughter a photo, video, or voice recording of her father, but more advanced. I like to think about myself in this situation, but I feel as though her decision to get the robot version of her husband was extremely rash and done out of desperation. If we are to develop this kind of technology, there should be many things in place in order to ensure that the person is in a healthy mental state, and many other things. I would love to see my grandfather one last time, but I think it is unnatural and unfair to him for us to create something that is to replicate him. The dead should be left at peace and we should mourn and grieve their loss, as this is a major part about life that connects us with the world and whatever religion, if you follow one, as well. The woman within the episode, although happy at first, began to notice that his mannerisms and slight differences made him completely different from her husband, and it drove her crazy. She wanted to be able to replace her husband with this replica of him, but it was in no way possible. You cannot completely replicate someone's emotions, mannerisms, and other things without difficulty. If people are going to use this technology to replace people, they will be extremely disappointed with what they recieve. I do not think this technology would be beneficial to our society, but my opinions may change as things advance in our world.
