AI Use in Rape Case Leads to Dismissal
A woman accused her ex-boyfriend of raping her while she was drunk.
She used an AI chatbot to help her prepare for the court case.
However, the court found out and dismissed the case because using AI to prepare for testimony is not allowed.
The court said it's like cheating because AI can change what a witness says, making it hard to know if they're telling the truth.
The court wants a new trial to happen as soon as possible.
A woman used AI to prepare her testimony in a rape case against her ex-boyfriend.

The court expressed concerns that AI could alter honest witnesses' accounts and help dishonest witnesses improve their testimony.
A retrial was ordered to take place at the earliest opportunity.
