Schumacher’s family win compensation for AI ‘interview’

Michael Schumacher’s family has secured 200,000 euros compensation from the publishers of a German magazine that printed an AI-generated ‘interview’ with the seven times Formula One world champion.

A family spokeswoman on Wednesday confirmed a Munich Labour Court judgement and settlement by Funke media group, publishers of the magazine Die Aktuelle, without making any further comment.

The magazine’s editor was sacked last year, with Funke apologising to Schumacher’s family.
