The editor-in-chief of Die Aktuelle, a German magazine that published a fake artificial intelligence interview with Michael Schumacher, has been “relieved of her duties”

The editor-in-chief of Die Aktuelle, a German magazine that published a fake artificial intelligence interview with Michael Schumacher, has been “relieved of her duties,” a statement from publishing house FUNKE said, alongside an apology to the Schumacher family. Anne Hoffmann had overseen the weekly German magazine since 2009, the statement added.

” The fake interview appears on page eight of the magazine with the headline, “My life has changed completely,” and includes fictitious quotes attributed to Schumacher, discussing his family life since the accident and his medical condition. Only toward the end of the article does it become apparent that the interview was produced by AI. Since the accident, the Schumacher family has kept updates about the health of the motorsport legend to a minimum to protect their privacy.
