Watch: AI brings the victim of murder to life in the court because the family uses an avatar in sentence

In a historic moment for the US justice system, Christopher Pelky’s family used artificial intelligence to allow “speaking” posthumously on the punishment of a person convicted of killing him during the 2021 road rage incident in Arizona.Pelky, a 37 -year -old US military veteran, who made three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, was badly shot by Gabriel Paul Horksitas, while both were stopped on a red light in Chandler, Erizona. According to CBS News, Pelky was walking towards Horsitas’s car when he was shot in the chest. Last week, HorkSitas was sentenced to 10.5 years in prison for Manslator.During the sentence, about four minutes of AI-borne video was played in the court, showing a digital entertainment of Pelky, in which the victim influence statement was made. The avatar created using a single photo and audio from a YouTube video, where Pelki discussed the PTSD, greeted the court with a disconnection: “I am a version of Chris Pelki which is re -created through AI that uses my picture and my voice profile.”“It’s ashamed that we used to face each other that day under those circumstances. In another life, we might have been friends,” AI Pelky said, according to the New York Times. “I believe in forgiveness and in God, who forgives. I always have and I still do”, AI avatar said.The purpose of the video written by Pelky’s sister Stacey Wales was to reflect her forgiving nature. The BBC said to him, “We contacted it with morality and morality because it is a powerful tool … like a hammer, it can build or destroy. We used to build it.”AI rendering hit a raga with Judge Tod Lang, Judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court. “I loved that AI,” he said, as quoted by BBC News. “And you are angry as you are as angry, and as a family, I have heard forgiveness. And I know Mr. Horkasitas appreciated it, but I did so”, Lang said.However, the use of AI in such an individual and emotional court proceedings has raised questions among legal experts. Gary Merchant, a law professor and a member of the AI ​​Committee of Arizona, was quoted by CBS News, saying that there is a concern that “Deepfek evidence” could affect judges and injuries. “It is easy to make, and anyone can do it on the phone,” he warned.Despite these concerns, the AI ​​video was allowed as the Erizona law allows the affected effects of any digital format, the rights of the victims explained Attorney Jessica Gattuso as news agency AP. The video was also supported by about 50 letters presented by family and friends that echoed its message.Horsitas’s Attorney, Jason Lem, has filed an appeal, suggesting that the judge may have improperly trusted the AI ​​video in the sentencing. “However, this could be a situation where they took it far away,” the Lem was quoted by the New York Times.While the AI ​​avatar was used only in the punishment phase and not during the test, the first of which was two due to a disclosure error, the incident has left a comprehensive debate about the place of AI in court. Professor, Brooklyn Law School Professor, Synthia Godos was quoted by the Times, saying that such technology “can provoke more emotions with pictures,” warnings to courts to walk carefully.But other people see capacity. As Maurya R. of AI Task Force of the American Bar Association. Greasman said, “There is no jury that may be affected,” and therefore, he did not find “moral or legally disturbing”.
