Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has recently secured a patent for an AI system capable of simulating a user's social media activity even after their death. This patent, as reported by Business Insider and other sources, was granted in late December 2025 and is designed to use a large language model to mimic a user's online interactions by analyzing their historical activity. The technology could generate posts, likes, comments, and even direct message replies, effectively creating a digital clone of the user. Meta's Chief Technology Officer, Andrew Bosworth, is listed as the primary author of this patent, which was first filed in 2023. Despite the patent's approval, Meta has stated that it has 'no plans to move forward' with implementing this technology, emphasizing that patent filings do not necessarily indicate future product development.
