A Washington judge has blocked the use of video enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI) as evidence in the trial of a man who was accused of a 2021 shooting that left three people dead.

In a Friday ruling, King County Superior Court Judge LeRoy McCullough said that AI technology used “opaque methods to represent what the AI model ‘thinks’ should be shown,” NBC News reported.
