POLITICO on Instagram: "Activist groups are using a typical advocacy tool — voicemails to members of Congress — with a new, uncomfortable twist: They’re AI-generated voice memos from victims killed by gun violence. TheShotline.org, a gun reform campaign by March for Our Lives and Change the REF, is asking constituents nationwide to send representatives in their zip code the AI-generated phone calls. The voice memos feature six victims of gun violence, including those killed in mass shootings, suicide and accidents. The advocacy organizations hope the chilling recordings will lead to the passage of federal gun reform, specifically an assault weapons ban. “I want these politicians to sit there and listen,” said Brett Cross, a father of one of the victims featured on Shotline.org, “I want them to imagine that that’s their children’s voices, because they didn’t do anything to prevent countless children being slaughtered.”Florida Democratic Congressman Maxwell Frost, called the AI-generated audio “heartbreaking” and “uncomfortable.” “That’s the point of it. The point is to feel uncomfortable,” he added. Link in bio for the full story on how lawmakers are responding to this use of AI. 🎥 @jackienpadilla / POLITICO"
