The commercialization of grief is also a growing ethical concern. Companies are developing AI-driven "grief tech" – chatbots or avatars that mimic deceased individuals using their digital footprints. While some find solace in these tools, they raise serious questions about data ownership, consent, and the potential to prolong grief indefinitely.

The goal is to prevent technology from defining intrinsically human experiences like love, loss, and remembrance.
