The convicted rapper says his lawyer’s use of artificial intelligence to write closing legal arguments cost him a major conspiracy trial.
Convicted Fugees rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michél said his former lawyer bungled his trial with a closing argument written by AI. It’s another bizarre twist in a sprawling case that saw the hip hop icon charged with conspiracy, acting as a foreign agent of China, and illegal attempts to influence two US presidential elections. Michél faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
“We take issue with this idea that somehow our technology produced inaccurate or incorrect or unuseful information for the legal team.” In a press release, citing the case as “the first use of generative AI in a federal trial,” EyeLevel.AI quoted Kenner celebrating its tools. “This is an absolute game changer for complex litigation. The system turned hours or days of legal work into seconds. This is a look into the future of how cases will be conducted,” Kenner said in the press release.
