Some of the voices of victims of mass shootings have been heard by members of Congress and are being revived to urge changes to gun regulations.
The voice of Ujiyah Garcia, who was murdered at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, is one of the voices recreated using artificial intelligence.
His voice, along with other mass shooting victims, was used to create the message of the “Shotline” campaign.
The website allows you to select your victim, search for their postal code, and send an AI-generated voice message directly to your local politician.
ABC13 anchor Myra Moreno spoke with Uzziah’s father, Brett Cross. She said her goal is to flood all local politicians with these messages in hopes of changing gun laws. He also shared his feelings when he first heard his son’s message:
“I got mad and just listened over and over again because this is the only time I’ve been back since May 24th. That’s the only time I’ve heard him since then and it’s 632 That was a day ago,” he said. “Our children’s voices were taken away when they lost their lives, and now we are recreating that voice and giving back to politicians who hear our voices and don’t.” It can be used to call out.”
Eyewitness News has reached out to the company behind the campaign but has not received a response. The effort is sponsored in part by a youth group formed after the Parkland shooting six years ago.
