Russian families are turning to artificial intelligence to 'resurrect' their loved ones who have been killed in the Ukraine war. This practice, which involves creating AI-generated photos and videos of deceased soldiers, has gained popularity on social media since mid-2025. While some families find solace in these digital creations, others are appalled by the controversial portrayal of soldiers as heroes defending their country. The ethical implications of this technology are complex, and its long-term psychological impact on grieving families remains uncertain. As AI-generated content becomes more accessible and affordable, it raises questions about the boundaries of mourning and the potential exploitation of grief for commercial gain.
