He was known for being funny, kind, and creative. On Monday, an AI version of Joaquin appeared on The Jim Acosta Show. The AI Joaquin spoke in favor of 'stronger gun control laws, mental health support and community engagement.' 'I was taken from this world too soon due to gun violence while at school. It's important to talk about these issues so we can create a safer future for everyone.' AI Joaquin mimics Joaquin's voice and personality Joaquin's father, Manuel Oliver, told Acosta that the "AI Joaquin" uses his son's voice and his past social media posts and writings to copy his personality.

A Washington Post story said many people criticized the use of AI to bring back someone who has died. Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who studies digital forensics, told the Post, "This sort of interview style can't possibly represent what that child wants to say in any reasonable way." "There are plenty of opportunities to talk to real victims and have a serious conversation about this epidemic that's happening in our country without resorting to this sort of stunt." This is not the first time the Olivers have used AI to share Joaquin's message. In 2020, an AI Joaquin appeared in a video promoting voter registration.

Oliver responded to critics in an Instagram video, saying Joaquin "has a lot of things to say" and "thanks to AI, we can bring him back." "If the problem that you have is with the AI, then you have the wrong problem. The real problem is that my son was shot eight years ago. So if you believe that is not the problem, you are part of the problem."
