The family of legendary Formula One driver Michael Schumacher plans to take legal action against a German magazine over the publication’s decision to run an AI-generated interview with the seven-time world champion, a spokesperson told ESPN.
According to ESPN’s Nate Saunders, German magazine Die Aktuelle published a cover that claimed to have an exclusive interview with Schumacher, who has not been seen publicly since December 2013 after suffering serious injuries in a skiing accident. The publication stated that it had “No meagre, nebulous half-sentences from friends. But answers from him! By Michael Schumacher, 54!”
However, at the end of the supposed interview, the magazine revealed that the entire article had been written by an AI chatbot, according to Saunders.
