 "German court rules in favour of Michael Schumacher’s family over fake AI interview")
Michael Schumacher’s family has triumphed in a lawsuit against the magazine’s publisher for publishing an AI-generated interview with the legendary Formula 1 driver.
In April 2023, the German magazine Die Aktuelle featured the headline, “Michael Schumacher, the first interview!” Additionally, it used artificial intelligence to construct the words “it sounds deceptively real” underneath purported Schumacher quotes. In Germany, Die Aktuelle is just one of numerous tabloid celebrity publications.
Without providing any other details, family spokesperson Sabine Kehm informed the media on Thursday that the legal case was successful.
According to reports, the settlement was for 200,000 euros ($217,000).
Last year, German publisher Funke magazines sacked Die Aktuelle’s top editor and expressed regret to Schumacher’s family for the story.
Schumacher lost consciousness in December 2013 while skiing in the French Alps in Meribel, suffering a brain injury that almost killed him. His helmet cracked open when his head struck a rock. The seven-time Formula One champion has received private care at a family house in Switzerland ever since he was moved out of the hospital in September 2014.
2012 saw the 55-year-old Schumacher’s retirement from Formula One after 91 race victories, including five consecutive titles with Ferrari from 2000 to 2004. The other two championships won by the German driver came from Benetton in 1994 and 1995.
