Chandler, Ariz. – Dozens of statements were submitted to the court by Christopher Pelky’s family and friends when it was time to punish the convicted person for being shot dead during a road outrage. They provided the pelvis of Pelkie, his character and his military service.
However, there was nothing to hear from the victim – it was even a version produced by artificial intelligence.
In the US court, Pelky’s family used AI to create a video using his family to give AI to AI. During the sentence in Phoenix last week, Pelky told the AI Rendering shooter that they had to meet in 2021 in 2021 – and in other life, both of them could have been friends.
Pelkie’s incarnation Gabriel Paul Paul told Harksitus, “I believe in those who forgive and forgive God. I always have and I still do.”
Pelkie’s AI version encouraged people to earn the greatest every day and love each other, not knowing how much time someone could leave.
After the use of AI in the court system, it is usually reserved for administrative work, legal research and case preparation. In Arizona it has helped the people notify the verdict in a significant case.
However, a new – legal, at least Arizona – using the AI to generate the statements of the victim’s influence is identified as the tool sharing information with the court outside the proven stage.
After watching the video, Mericopa County Superior Court Judge Tod Lang, the chairman of the case, said after watching the video that he imagined 37 -year -old Pelie at the time of the murder, feeling that way after learning about him. Lang also mentions that the video said something about Pelkie’s family who expressed their anger about his death and wanted Horkcitus to get the maximum punishment.
Lang said, “Although you wanted it, you allowed Chris to speak out of his heart as you saw,” Lang said.
54 -year -old Harksitus was convicted of the massacre and he was sentenced to 10.5 years in prison.
Jason Lam, a lawyer for Harksitus, told the Associated Press that they filed a notice to appeal his sentence within hours of the hearing. Lam said that the judge would probably consider whether the judge had relying on the AI video when the Appellate Court had transferred the sentence.
The shooting took place on November 13, 2021 as both drivers were stopped in a red light. According to the record, Pelie was shot out of his truck and shot after a car at Harksitus.
Pelky’s sister Stacey Wales raised the idea of talking to her brother’s own after fighting to determine what to say. He wrote a script for the AI-arranged video, reflecting that he was a forgiving person.
In Arizona, the victims can make a statement of their influence on any digital format, saying that the rights of the victims representing the family are Jessica Gataso.
Wales, a software product consultant, took the idea of AI to her husband team. He and his friends, who have work experience, create an II incarnation like humans. Using a video clip of Pelky, they aimed to make a transcript of his voice and speech patterns. They made the duplicity of the pelk through its single image, digitally to remove the glasses and a hats logo, edit its clothing and trim his beard.
The Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ann Tima did not address the Road Rez Case, especially in an interview on Wednesday. However, he said that the increase in popularity and accessibility in AI in recent years had created a committee to research the best practices in the court.
Gary Merchant, a member of the committee and a law professor at Arizona State University, said he understood why Pelky’s family did it. However, he warned that the use of this technology could open more people’s doors to try to introduce AI-exposed evidence in the courtroom.
“There is a practical concern between the judiciary and the lawyers that the evidence of depth will be used to be increasingly used,” he said. “It’s easy to make and anyone who can do it on a phone and it can be incredibly dominant because judges and jury like all of us are accustomed to trust what you see.”
Merchant pointed to a recent New York case, where a lawyer without a lawyer used the AI-exposed avatar to argue his case in the case. It took only a few seconds to understand the judges that the guy addressed from the video screen did not exist at all.
In the Arizona case, Wales said that the AI-exposed video worked because the judge had about 50 letters from family and friends that echoed the message of the video.
“Everyone knew that Chris would forgive this person,” Wales said.
