Dublin Simon Community highlights homelessness crisis using video created by AI technology

A Dublin homeless charity has this week released its brand new campaign video highlighting the city's homelessness crisis, which was created using by artificial intelligence (AI).

Dublin Simon Community's Unfair City uses AI technology to tell the story of former homeless man Justin Cannon. Justin was interviewed, and his story was then animated using AI image generators and the AI imagery was also created by Justin’s own words.

The unique project also used AI generators to protect the person's dignity and privacy while sharing their story. The Dublin Simon Community has also said it is becoming more challenging for charities to illustrate the impact and issues around homelessness as the crisis gets “out of control”.
