"AI-Enabled Voices of Shooting Victims Advocate for Gun Reform in Congress"
March For Our Lives and Change The Ref have used AI to recreate the voices of individuals killed by gun violence, including Joaquin Oliver, a victim of the Parkland shooting. These AI-generated messages are part of the Shotline initiative, allowing users to send them directly to members of Congress to demand action on gun violence prevention. While some AI experts see this as an ethically sound use of AI, questions remain about the appropriate use of AI in advocacy and the control of representations of deceased individuals. Gun control advocates believe that sharing the voices of victims is crucial in influencing change, as statistics alone may not change people's minds.
