The family of former F1 champion Michael Schumacher is taking legal action against a German magazine that published a fake interview with him using artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The magazine, Die Aktuelle, ran a cover story on April 14\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> promising \u201cthe first interview!\u201d with Schumacher since he suffered a brain injury in a skiing accident in 2013. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> contained fabricated quotes attributed to Schumacher, which were only revealed to be generated by AI at the end of the article. A spokesperson for Schumacher\u2019s family confirmed to ESPN and Reuters on April 20 that they will pursue legal action<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> against the magazine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fake interview has sparked outrage among Schumacher\u2019s fans and raised ethical and legal questions about using AI to impersonate celebrities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schumacher has not been seen publicly since his accident, and his family has kept his health condition private. In September 2021, his wife Corinna Schumacher spoke about his condition in a Netflix documentary about his racing career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said he still shows her how strong he is daily and that they do everything possible to make him comfortable. Schumacher\u2019s son Mick is also a Formula One driver and currently races for Haas<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
