Washington Judge Bars AI-Enhanced Video in Murder Trial, a Possibly First-of-Its-Kind Ruling

• Washington judge bars AI-enhanced video as evidence in murder trial, possibly first such ruling in US court • Judge said AI technology relies on "opaque methods" and could lead to "confusion of the issues" at trial
• Case involves 2021 shooting that killed 3, defense claimed self-defense and sought to use AI to enhance video • Prosecutors said enhanced video inaccurately predicted and altered images compared to original • Expert said AI video enhancement lacks accepted methodology and peer review for use as legal evidence
