Widows of Russian soldiers use AI to 'resurrect' husbands

Widows of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine are using AI to ‘resurrect’ their husbands

In Russia, a new digital form of mourning is gaining traction, according to BBC News Russian. Widows and family members of men killed in the war in Ukraine are turning to AI to “bring their photos to life.” Using old pictures, wedding footage, or selfies, generative tools create short videos in which the deceased move, smile, and sometimes even speak prewritten words.
