The “grief tech” or “death tech” industry is growing, valued at over £100bn globally, and is using artificial intelligence to help people cope with loss. One example is HereafterAI, which allows users to create a chatbot of their loved one using recorded conversations, allowing them to interact with the AI in a nostalgic way. Another company, DeepBrain AI, creates a video-based avatar of a person, capturing their face, voice, and mannerisms. While these technologies can provide comfort and a sense of connection to the deceased, psychologists caution that they should be used with care and consideration, and that human support is still essential for the grieving process.
