On today’s episode, Claire Hunter joins us from France to explore the growing role of artificial intelligence in the world of grief and bereavement support. Claire shares insight into how AI is currently being used—from chat-based grief companions to the emerging development of digital avatars that simulate conversations with loved ones who have passed.
We discuss the deep ethical and emotional questions surrounding this technology. For some, AI has provided comfort, connection, and a sense of continued presence. For others, the idea feels unsettling or even intrusive. The controversy highlights a broader tension between innovation and tradition in grief work.
Claire emphasizes that while AI tools show promise, much research is still needed to understand the long-term psychological impact and to determine what constitutes healthy integration of AI in grief therapy. As with any tool, discernment, boundaries, and human-centered care remain essential.
This is a thoughtful and timely conversation about technology, memory, love, and the evolving landscape of support for those walking the grief journey.
