A multimillion-dollar conspiracy trial that stretched across the worlds of politics and entertainment is now touching on the tech world with arguments that a defence lawyer for a Fugees rapper bungled closing arguments by using an artificial intelligence program.
The Grammy-winning rapper’s trial was touted as the first time generative AI was used in a federal trial in a news release from the startup company that designed the system. Defence lawyer David Kenner, well known for his previous representation of rappers such as Suge Knight and Snoop Dogg, also was quoted calling the system a “game changer for complex litigation”.
Kenner did not respond to requests for comment. The company, EyeLevel.AI, said the program wasn’t experimental but instead trained using only facts from the case, including court transcripts, not musical lyrics or anything found online. It is intended to provide fast answers to complex questions to help, not replace, human lawyers, said co-founder and COO Neil Katz.
Michel was found guilty in April on all 10 counts he was charged with, including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. He faces up to 20 years in prison on the top counts. He is free ahead of sentencing, which has not yet been set.
