A courtroom in Liberia's capital was disrupted when a defense lawyer played an audio clip said to be generated by artificial intelligence (AI). The recording allegedly mimicked the voice of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The incident happened at Criminal Court "A" in Monrovia. Prosecutors immediately objected to the audio being played.
The judge halted the demonstration. The context of the case and the intended purpose of the AI recording were not detailed in the report.
AI-generated media, often called "deepfakes," can create realistic but fake audio or video. Their use as potential evidence in legal systems worldwide is a new and challenging issue.
