AI Brings Back Voices of Children Killed in Shootings to Advocate for Gun Reform
-
Parents are using AI to recreate the voices of children killed in shootings to advocate for stricter gun laws. The voices are featured on a website where people can send them to members of Congress.
-
One recreated voice is that of 10-year-old Uziyah Garcia, who was killed in the Uvalde school shooting. The AI voice talks about Uziyah's life and demands change.
-
Another voice is 17-year-old Joaquin Oliver, who was killed in the Parkland shooting. His parents founded the advocacy group Change The Ref.
-
The father of Uziyah Garcia said the campaign aims to "flood these lines" so politicians have to listen to the voices of dead children.
-
The website has already submitted over 34,000 calls with the AI voices to members of Congress to demand they take action on gun violence.
