The accused at the Modern York Court was accused of a judge for using an avatar of artificial intelligence to represent himself in a recent case.
The Court of Appeal in Modern York stood in the face of an unusual situation at the end of March, when Jerome Dewald, representing himself in a job dispute, submitted an avatar generated by AI to present his legal arguments through video, the life of the hearing can be seen.
This is the latest example of artificial intelligence tools that get in the courtroom.
In a few seconds of the film, judge Sallie Manzanet-Daniels called To stop asking if the avatar was an advisor to the case.
“I generated it,” said 74-year-old Dewald, adding: “This is not a real person.”
The judge seemed dissatisfied, answering: “It would be nice to know that when you made a request,” stating that the defendant had previously appeared before the court and was able to testify orally in the past.
“I underestimate that I was misled,” the judge added.
She asked the accused if she suffers from a ailment that prevented him from arting before adding: “You are not going to use this courtroom as a premiere for your company”, and then shouting: “Turn it off”, pointing to the video screen.

Dewald later apologized, explaining that he thought that Ai Avatar would provide his arguments more eloquently than he could.
Talking to The Associated Press, Dewal he said He submitted an application to the court for permission to restore the pre -recorded film, and then used a technology company in San Francisco to create AI Avatar.
Originally, he tried to generate a digital replica of himself, but before the trial he prevented him with time limits. “The court was very nervous,” Dewald admitted, adding: “It chewed enough for me.”

Ai enters the legal world
This incident emphasizes the growing challenges when artificial intelligence enters the legal world.
In 2023, the Modern York lawyer was blown up by citing false matters generated by ChatgPT in a legal brief as part of the trial against the Colombian airline.
In March, the Supreme Court in Arizona began to exploit two avatars generated by AI, similar to the one that Dewald used in Modern York, to summarize court rulings for society.
In September, the American Federal Trade Commission took action against companies that claimed that they misled consumers by means of artificial intelligence, including a company that offered AI lawyer.
