AI Voices of Gun Violence Victims Call for Reform
Families of gun violence victims use AI to recreate loved ones' voices, urging lawmakers to enact stricter gun laws.
- On the sixth anniversary of the Parkland shooting, families launch The Shotline, using AI to send messages in victims' voices to lawmakers.
- The campaign targets senators and House members opposing gun control, with calls demanding action on gun violence.
- Participants include families of victims from Parkland, Uvalde, and other shootings, advocating for laws like a ban on AR-15 sales and safe gun storage.
- Critics accuse the campaign of politicizing victims, but families insist on the authenticity of their loved ones' messages.
- The project, exempt from recent robocall bans, aims to create a cultural shift towards stricter gun control.
