Michael Schumacher's family is planning legal action against a German magazine over an 'interview' with the seven times Formula One champion that was generated by artificial intelligence.
Schumacher has not been seen in public since he suffered a serious brain injury in a skiing accident in December 2013. The family has guarded his privacy since then, with little information given about his condition.
The latest edition of Die Aktuelle ran a front cover with a picture of a smiling Schumacher and the headline promising 'Michael Schumacher, the first interview'. Inside, it emerged that the supposed quotes had been produced by AI.
A spokesperson for the Schumacher family pointed to published reports of legal action. The family is seeking to protect Schumacher's privacy and ensure that his name and image are not exploited for profit.
Schumacher's son Mick is currently the Mercedes reserve driver in Formula One. The family continues to focus on his recovery and on protecting his privacy, as they have done since his accident in 2013.
