Content creators are using artificial intelligence to recreate the likenesses and voices of deceased or missing children in disturbing narratives of crimes. While some see this as a new way to raise awareness, it has sparked significant controversy, with victims’ families and experts condemning the practice as offensive, traumatizing, and a violation of dignity. Platforms like **TikTok** have taken steps to remove such content, describing it as against their community guidelines, but the issue highlights a broader ethical challenge. The situation underscores the urgent need to balance the creative and engaging potentials of AI with responsible guidelines that consider societal values and individual sensitivities.
