US killer's sentence quashed over AI video of victim in court

Original: US killer's sentence quashed because of AI video of victim shown in court

A US court has overturned a killer's sentence after prosecutors showed an AI-generated video of the murder victim speaking in court, a move the defence argued improperly influenced the judge. The case is drawing attention to the risks of using synthetic recreations of deceased people as victim impact statements, with legal commentators debating whether such technology can ever be fair in sentencing proceedings.

Why now: It raises fresh concerns about how AI-generated media is being used in courtrooms and its effect on sentencing decisions.
