Kenner reportedly used EyeLevel.AI to create the defense that Michel made contributions to the Obama campaign to help businessman Jho Low get a photograph with President Obama, not to influence policy. Michel's new lawyers argue that the AI failed to mention the strongest argument that there was no evidence Michel acted at the direction of the Chinese government. EyeLevel.AI had previously touted its technology as an "absolute game changer" that could turn hours or days of legal work into seconds.
Key takeaways:
- Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, a founding member of the Fugees, was recently convicted of political conspiracy. His lawyer, David Kenner, allegedly used a generative AI to craft the closing arguments.
- After the conviction, Michel's new lawyers argued that the AI-generated remarks seemed to be an admission of guilt, and are now moving to have the conviction overturned.
- Kenner reportedly used EyeLevel.AI to craft the defense, which argued that Michel made contributions to the Obama campaign to help a fugitive businessman get a photograph with President Obama, not to influence policy.
- EyeLevel.AI had previously issued a press release touting itself as an “absolute game changer” that could turn “hours or days of legal work into seconds.” However, this case suggests that the use of AI in legal proceedings can lead to complications and potential retrials.
