The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E is equipped with the latest semi-autonomous BlueCruise highway driving system that can drive the car under certain circumstances better than the original version. The family of Formula One star Michael Schumacher is planning to take legal action against a German weekly magazine after it published an "interview" with the racer that was generated using artificial intelligence. A spokesperson for the Schumacher family pointed to published reports of legal action, according to Reuters. Family spokesperson Sabine Kehm confirmed to The Associated Press by email on Thursday that legal action is being planned over a "fake artificial intelligence interview by German outlet Die Aktuelle." Schumacher has not been seen in public since suffering a near-fatal brain injury in a skiing accident on a French Alps vacation in December 2013.

This week, a German tabloid tested the boundaries of AI passing itself off as reality. Celebrity magazine Die Aktuelle published a cover story in its April 15th issue about a supposed interview with Formula One driver Michael Schumacher; only at the end does it reveal that it was a hoax produced entirely by an AI chatbot. Schumacher's family told ESPN it plans to take legal action against the gossip rag. The article promised "the first interview" with Schumacher, who suffered a severe brain injury on a family ski trip in the French Alps in 2013. Since then, the celebrated driver -- arguably the greatest in Formula One history -- hasn't appeared publicly as his family guards his privacy.
