Original: Manslaughter sentence tossed over AI-generated video of slain victim used at trial

A manslaughter sentence has been thrown out after prosecutors used an AI-generated video showing the slain victim speaking during the trial. The ruling raises fresh questions about whether artificial intelligence recreations of dead victims belong in courtrooms, with critics warning such videos can unfairly sway juries and inflame sentencing. The decision is fueling debate among legal experts over how courts should handle AI-generated evidence.

Why now: Courts are confronting for the first time how AI-generated depictions of victims affect defendants' rights, making the ruling a test case for AI in the justice system.
