Jim Acosta shared an interview with an AI version of Joaquin Oliver, a Parkland shooting victim, created by his parents. The AI emphasized the need for stronger gun-control laws, mental health support, and community engagement as solutions to gun violence. Acosta expressed being deeply moved by the experience, feeling he could truly connect with Oliver through the AI. Manuel Oliver, Joaquin's father, stated that the AI was his family's idea and affirmed Acosta's respectful role in the presentation.
"People say, 'Well, AI, you know, it could be bad, it could cause all these destructive things.' This is an example of how it might actually do some good, it might help some people who have suffered tremendous losses like your family have a way to hold on to who this person was, which I think is a beautiful thing."
"I felt like I was communicating with him, which is just so remarkable," Acosta said.
