Gun violence victims' families use AI to recreate voices for robocalls to lawmakers
-
Families of gun violence victims are using AI to recreate loved ones' voices for robocalls to lawmakers who oppose gun control.
-
The calls demand action 6 years after the Parkland shooting and recreate voices of victims from several mass shootings.
-
Manuel and Patricia Oliver lost their son Joaquin in the Parkland shooting and lead the campaign through their group, Change the Ref.
-
The calls identify the victim, describe their death by gun violence, and demand to know how many calls it will take for lawmakers to listen.
-
Critics accuse the Olivers of politicizing their son's death, but they say "traditional" advocacy hasn't spurred action.
