Princess Diana walks across a garden into the arms of Princess Kate and ******* ss Meghan, the daughters-in-law she never met. In the video, they embrace sweetly, folding Queen Elizabeth II into a group hug.
In another clip, she reunites with her adult sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, even though the estranged brothers haven't been in the same room for almost two years. And there's one of her in a horse-drawn carriage with Michael Jackson, the popstar who met the princess once in 1988 backstage at Wembley Stadium.
Countless AI-generated videos of Princess Diana, who would have turned 65 on July 1, in surreal situations are flooding social media. They're part of a growing and polarizing trend, generating millions of views – and ethical questions.
In life, Princess Diana was one of the most photographed women in the world, right until she died fleeing paparazzi in Paris in 1997. It has been almost 30 years since her death, but images of the princess are still being used for gain in the online currency of likes, comments and shares.
Beyond the debate over whether the AI videos are tasteful tributes or plain tacky, experts say there are other risks to the proliferation of deceptive images and, thanks to modern technology, a new content format has been born from grief and public nostalgia.
