An AI-generated simulation of a murdered man, Christopher Pelkey, addressed an Arizona court with a victim's statement using generative AI technology.
The video was created by Pelkey's family to allow him to address the court in his own words, expressing forgiveness towards the man who shot him.
Family members provided voice recordings, videos, and photos of Pelkey to create the AI-generated video that was presented in court.
The use of generative AI in legal settings is limited but was allowed in this case, where the judge acknowledged the family's anger but considered the forgiveness expressed in the video to be genuine.
