**Mother Reunites with Fallen Son Recreated as AI Digital Human in Emotional Military Broadcast**
The mother of the late Park In-chul, a lieutenant who died in a KF-16 fighter jet crash during night flight training 16 years ago, has reunited with her son, recreated through Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a digital human (virtual human). The Defense Promotion Agency’s Defense TV revealed in its broadcast ‘That Day, Military Story – Meeting with the late Lt. Park In-chul’, the mother, Lee Jun-shin, who is the director of the Veterans Relaxation Center, meeting her son, recreated through AI Deepfake technology. This marks the first time that military authorities have used AI to recreate a fallen soldier as a virtual human, a process that took six months to produce. In the broadcast, Director Lee said she wished she could see her son in this way, recalling a TV program about a man meeting his deceased wife in virtual space. The virtual human, appearing on a monitor screen in the studio, said to the mother, “Mom, I missed you so much,” and she too responded tearfully, “In-chul, I missed you.”
