This AI-generated video got an Arizona manslaughter sentence tossed, likely a first for a U.S. court
This AI-generated video got an Arizona manslaughter sentence tossed, likely a first for a U.S. court. An Arizona man’s 10-year manslaughter sentence has been tossed in a case where a video generated by artificial intelligence portrayed the deceased victim addressing a judge before the punishment was imposed. In a decision released Wednesday, the Arizona Court of Appeals concluded Gabriel Paul Horcasitas must be resentenced in the 2021 shooting death of Christopher Pelkey because the AI video wasn’t reliable . The court found the video crossed the line, saying it didn’t reflect actual events and presented statements made in the footage.
