Original: US killer's sentence quashed because of AI video of victim shown in court https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwgkvygg5nzv

A US court has overturned a killer's sentence after an AI-generated video depicting the victim was shown during sentencing proceedings. The case has sparked debate over the use of artificial recreations of deceased people in courtrooms, with critics warning such videos could unduly sway judges and juries emotionally and undermine the fairness of sentencing decisions.

Why now: It raises fresh concerns about whether AI-generated depictions of victims should be allowed to influence court proceedings.
