Do not send your AI AVATAR to testify you in court

Generally speaking, it is not considered a good idea to present yourself in court. But there is another potentially higher route: you can say that you will introduce yourself, then pass the task to AI Avatar to show the capabilities of your startup. This seems to be the approach that AI entrepreneur Jerome Dewald has taken, according to a Registry reportAnd he was not well received by the court.

Here is the situation in which Debald at first glance ended up in: Deald is the plaintiff in an employment dispute with the insurance company Massmutual Metro New York and is planned to do a dispute in court on March 26, 2025. Dewald was diagnosed with cancer, such as the register 25 years ago and according to his account in the register. Therefore, he asked the court if he could submit a video to make his statement – a reasonable request that the court seemed to have approved in advance.

What the court did not approve, Based on the judge’s reactionIt was the video that Debald presented, which was not him to make a statement, and instead a beautiful family man whom the judges had never seen before. Just a few seconds in the statement of the unnamed business student, justice associate Sali Manzanet-Danels cut off the video and asked “Is this advisor about the case?” At that moment, Deald revealed that the man who made the statement was not at all-it was a video generated by AI. “This is not a real person,” he told the court.

It was then that the Lost Justice Mazanet-Danels was the lost justice. “It would be nice to know that when you filed your application. You didn’t tell me this, Sir,” she said, noting that Debald testified long before and had conversations with the clerk’s office for long periods without a problem. “I don’t appreciate being misled. So you either suffer from a disease that prevents you from being able to articulate or not,” she said.

Now it will probably be a good time to mention that Dewald heads the launch of AI called To see for This helps people to present themselves on legal issues with AI instruments – a fact that the judge seems to know, as she said to him, “You will not use this courtroom as a start for your business, sir.”

To be fair to Deald, it doesn’t seem that his avatar was created with his own platform he said Registry has been stagnant for about a year due to lack of funding. His AI representative called “Jim” was created with a free trial version of AI service called YourS While he intended to make an AI version of himself to talk to court, he couldn’t make the process work like that, he told registeR He just put up with “one of their reserve replicas, this big, beautiful piece of man.”

However, the appearance of self -advertising, as well as the unexpected appearance of AI Avatar, was enough to get Debald to quarrel from the court. He continued to argue for himself, and since then he had dealt with the fact that he probably had to provide heads that he would use AI to present his case. A scientific lesson.
