Dear MEL Topic Readers,
He was killed in a road rage incident. His family used AI to bring him to the courtroom to address his killer
Visual images are impactful, and sometimes more appealing and convincing than written statements or evidence to the audience. The family members of a victim of a road rage incident in Arizona, USA, used AI to recreate the victim to speak in the courtroom. It was played not as evidence but to give the deceased family member the chance to express forgiveness to the defendant during the sentencing hearing. They trained AI software platforms with photos and videos of the victim to create a video replica to speak what he would have said to the shooter. The defendant's lawyer indicated that the use of the video in a courtroom might become an issue when the case is appealed, even though it was not used as evidence. Nowadays, you can use AI software to create a video of a dead person, which could be played to remember the person or deliver messages. Indeed, avatars and AI-created yourself can speak for you even after your death.
Read the article and learn about a remarkable use of AI-created video.
