Victoria J. Haneman, who holds the Chaffin Chair of Fiduciary Law, and her 2025 Boston College Law Review article “The Law of Digital Resurrection” were recently highlighted in The Register. The coverage focused on concerns about protecting the data of deceased individuals from being used by artificial intelligence systems.
The Register’s article, titled “The dead need rights to delete their data so they can’t be AI-ified, lawyer says,” was written by Thomas Claburn and published on August 9, 2025. Haneman’s work examines legal questions surrounding digital data and posthumous privacy.
Her article in the Boston College Law Review was also featured in PC Magazine.
