A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

How does this work when you have a shitty Samsung that turns a pic of a pic of the moon into the Moon by adding details that weren't there?

Yeah, this is a really good call. I'm a fan of what we can do with AI, when you start looking at those upskilled videos with a magnifying glass... It's just making s*** up that looks good.

During Kyle Rittenhouse's trial the defense attorney objected to using the pinch to zoom feature of an iPad because it (supposedly) used AI. This was upheld by the judge so the prosecution couldn't zoom in on the video.

Sure, no algorithm is able to extract any more information from a single photo. But how about combining detail caught in multiple frames of video? Some phones already do this kind of thing, getting multiple samples for highly zoomed photos thanks to camera shake.

Still, the problem remains that the results from a cherry-picked algorithm or outright hand-crafted pics may be presented.
