Jim Acosta, former CNN correspondent, conducted a unique interview with an AI-generated avatar of Joaquin Oliver, a student who was killed in the 2018 Parkland school shooting. The AI version of Oliver was created by his parents to deliver a message on gun violence and promote gun safety. This interview marks the first public appearance of the AI avatar and is part of a broader effort to use artificial intelligence in advocacy. The initiative has drawn public attention and sparked debate regarding the use of AI to represent deceased individuals. Separately, the Holocaust museum announced plans to add an AI interactive featuring a Rwandan genocide survivor, indicating a growing trend of employing AI technology for educational and memorial purposes.
