Michael Schumacher: Family of seven-time F1 champion wins compensation for AI 'interview'

Michael Schumacher's family has been awarded 200,000 euros (£170,212) compensation from the publishers of a magazine which printed an artificial intelligence-generated 'interview' with the former Formula 1 driver.

German publication Die Aktuelle ran a picture of Schumacher on the front cover of its edition in April 2023.

Underneath the headline of "Michael Schumacher, the first interview" read a strapline of "it sounded deceptively real" and it emerged in the article that the supposed quotes had been produced by AI.

Schumacher, 55, has not been seen in public since suffering severe head injuries in a skiing accident in December 2013.
