Part 7/11:
Acasta’s decision to produce and broadcast an AI interview with the deceased victim sparked immediate outrage. Critics denounced the move as ethically questionable, highlighting how it exploits a tragic event for what some see as sensationalism or political points. The interview featured an AI avatar answering questions about gun violence, promoting policies like stricter gun control laws, mental health support, and community engagement.
Many viewers and commentators found the use of AI in this context to be "sick" and "exploitive," with concerns raised about the insensitivity of recreating a deceased individual’s voice and persona. Ultimately, this technology’s potential for misuse raises pressing questions about boundaries, consent, and the emotional impact of such content.
