Fugees Rapper Pras Michel Claims AI-Assisted Defense Backfired
Grammy winner Pras Michel's lawyer, David Kenner, used an AI program to generate his closing argument, which turned out to be a flop. Michel was convicted, and his new counsel claims that Kenner's argument made frivolous claims, misunderstood the required elements, and ignored weaknesses in the government's case. Additionally, it was revealed that Kenner and another lawyer had an undisclosed financial interest in a company that acted as a technology partner to the AI program, potentially advancing their own financial interests at Michel's expense.
