When AI Thinks You're Dead

What happens when an AI system misidentifies you as deceased? It's not science fiction—it's happening right now to real people. We've uncovered cases where false death declarations by algorithms locked people out of bank accounts, benefits, and their own lives. In this episode, we track how a single data error can spiral into a nightmare that's nearly impossible to fix. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
