Proteas youngsters will be better for the experience after Black Caps defeat, says Conrad
Proteas coach Shukri Conrad believes there were plenty of positives to take from the T20I Tri-Series, despite his team losing the final to a 'classy' New Zealand outfit by three runs in Harare on Saturday. Conrad focused on the development of young batting stars Lhuan-dre Pretorius' and Dewald Brevis, along with the way the death bowling steadily improved over the past fortnight. After being restored to the top-of-the-order after slotting in at No 5 in the previous game, Pretorius showed off his best form of the series with a 35-ball 51 - his maiden T20I half-century - to set up the Proteas' pursuit of 181 for victory. Brevis, meanwhile, had a different type of pressure to deal with in the middle-order. The 22-year-old took the Proteas to the brink of victory with a blistering 16-ball 31, reducing the target to seven runs off the final over, but was ultimately dismissed with four balls still remaining. "That was a game of millimetres really. Going into the last over, you backing yourself to get 7 runs off 6 balls with an in-batter like Dewald. Then he gets a ball that he would normally hit out of Harare and finds the toe end and it doesn't go for six. Then George (Linde) hit another and a hell of a catch by Mitchell. So, ifs and buts, but at the end of the day. It just wasn't meant to be,' Conrad said. "Lhuan-dre is one of the bright prospects of South Africa and we saw that with the innings today. He's a classy young cricketer and exciting times lie ahead for him. There's obviously big tours against England and Australia as we build up to the T20 World Cup and I'm very happy for him. Young players go through a lot and sometimes don't know how to deal with it but for him to come back in the final and give us the foundation like he did was great. "Dewald is a special talent and he is hugely disappointed that he didn't take us home and this is the nature of T20. But he is a special talent and probably one of the sweetest strikers of the cricket ball in world cricket at the moment. 'You never out of the game when you still have Dewald Brevis in the sheds. I think he will be better for the experience this week. But again, this is all part of the journey and development for him." Conrad admitted that death bowling had previously been a problem for his team and is something they have worked on, citing New Zealand's inability to strike boundaries in the last five overs of the final. "I think we made huge strides when it comes to bowling at the death is concerned. Guys are clearer with their plans. In the last five overs, New Zealand only hit like two or three boundaries which is brilliant for us,' he said. "I looked out on the field during the presentation and I think only like two or three guys were in the last T20 World Cup side. 'So with such a young and inexperienced side to put up a performance today was good. It is also pleasing to see in pressure situations how the young guys like Lhuandre and Dewald stood up." The Proteas' next white-ball assignments are in Australia and England.

This man was killed four years ago. His AI clone just spoke in court.
People just can't stop using generative AI tools in legal proceedings, despite repeated pushback from frustrated judges. While AI initially appeared in courtrooms through bogus 'hallucinated' cases the trend has taken a turn—driven by increasingly sophisticated AI video and audio tools. In some instances, AI is even being used to seemingly bring victims back from the dead. This week, a crime victim's family presented a brief video in an Arizona courtroom depicting an AI version of 37-year-old Chris Pelkey. Pelkey was shot and killed in 2021 in a road rage incident. Now, four years later, the AI-generated 'clone' appeared to address his alleged killer in court. The video, first reported by local outlet ABC15, appears to be the first known example of a generative AI deepfake used in a victim impact statement. 'To Gabriel Horcasitas, the man who shot me, it is a shame we encountered each other that day in those circumstances,' the AI replica of Pelkey says in the video. 'In another life, we probably could have been friends.' The video shows the AI version of Pelkey—a burly, bearded Army veteran—wearing a green hoodie and gray baseball cap. Pelkey's family reportedly created the video by training an AI model on various clips of Pelkey. An 'old age' filter was then applied to simulate what Pelkey might look like today. In the end, the judge sentenced Horcasitas to 10.5 years in prison for manslaughter, a decision he said was at least partly influenced by the AI-generated impact statement. 'This is the best I can ever give you of what I would have looked like if I got the chance to grow old,' the Pelkey deepfake said. 'Remember, getting old is a gift that not everybody has, so embrace it and stop worrying about those wrinkles.' A New York man used an AI deepfake to help argue his case The AI-generated impact statement comes just a month after a defendant in New York State court, 74-year-old Jerome Dewald, used a deepfake video to assist in delivering his own legal defense. When Dewald appeared in court over a contract dispute with a former employer, he presented a video showing a man in a sweater and blue dress shirt speaking directly to the camera. The judge, confused by the video, asked Dewald if the person on screen was his attorney. In reality, it was an AI-generated deepfake. 'I generated that,' Dewald said according to The New York Times. 'That is not a real person.' The judge wasn't pleased and reprimanded Dewald for failing to disclose that he had used AI software to aid his defense. Speaking with the NYT after the hearing, Dewald claimed he hadn't intended to mislead the court but used the AI tool as a way to more clearly articulate his defense. He said he initially planned to have the deepfake resemble himself but switched to the version shown in court after encountering technical difficulties. 'My intent was never to deceive but rather to present my arguments in the most efficient manner possible,' Dewald reportedly said in a letter to the judges. Related: [This AI chatbot will be playing attorney in a real US court] AI models have 'hallucinated' fake legal cases The two cases represent the latest examples of generative AI seeping into courtrooms, a trend that began gaining traction several years ago following the surge of public interest in popular chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT. Lawyers across the country have reportedly used these large language models to help draft legal filings and collect information. That has led to some embarrassing instances where models have 'hallucinated' entirely fabricated case names and facts that eventually make their way into legal proceedings. In 2023, two New York-based lawyers were sanctioned by a judge after they submitted a brief containing six fake case citations generated by ChatGPT. Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer of President Donald Trump, reportedly sent fake AI-generated legal cases to his attorney that ended up in a motion submitted to federal judges. Another lawyer in Colorado was suspended after reportedly submitting AI-generated legal cases. OpenAI has even been sued by a Georgia radio host who claimed a ChatGPT response accused him of being involved in a real embezzlement case he had nothing to do with. Get ready for more AI in courtrooms Though courts have punished attorneys and defendants for using AI in ways that appear deceptive, the rules around whether it's ever acceptable to use these tools remain murky. Just last week, a federal judicial panel voted 8–1 to seek public comment on a draft rule aimed at ensuring that AI-assisted evidence meets the same standards as evidence presented by human expert witnesses. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts also addressed the issue in his 2023 annual report, noting both the potential benefits and drawbacks of allowing more generative AI in the courtroom. On one hand, he observed, AI could make it easier for people with limited financial resources to defend themselves. At the same time, he warned that the technology risks 'invading privacy interests and dehumanizing the law.' One thing seems certain: We haven't seen the last of AI deepakes in courtrooms.

AI-generated attorney outrages judge who scolds man over courtroom fake: ‘not a real person'
An artificial intelligence-generated avatar was the source of contempt inside a New York courtroom after judges quickly realized the attorney arguing a case in front of them was not real. The scene unfolded as Jerome Dewald, a plaintiff in an employment dispute, approached the stand of the New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division's First Judicial Department on March 26. "The appellant has submitted a video for his argument," Justice Sallie Manzanet-Daniels said. "We will hear that video now." The screen powered on, displaying a handsome young man wearing a button-down shirt, seemingly sitting in a home office. "May it please the court, I come here today a humble pro se before a panel of five distinguished justices," the man said. Suddenly, Manzanet-Daniels interrupted the video and questioned the authenticity of the apparent attorney. "Hold on," Manzanet-Daniels said. "Is that counsel for the case?" Dewald confirmed the man was, in fact, his representative, and told the judges, "I generated that. That's not a real person." The fallout was immediate as the judge clearly expressed her disapproval of Dewald's choice to present an AI-generated video. "It would have been nice to know that when you made your application," Manzanet-Daniels said. "You did not tell me that, sir." Dewald reportedly submitted a letter apologizing to the court, explaining he did not have a lawyer representing him in the case and had not intended any harm. "The court was really upset about it," Dewald told The Associated Press. "They chewed me up pretty good." Dewald reportedly applied for permission from the court to play a prerecorded video and initially planned to use an avatar that resembled himself, but opted for a program created by a San Francisco tech company. The snafu was not the first time artificial intelligence has raised eyebrows in court. Last year, two New York lawyers were each fined $5,000 by a federal judge after they used ChatGPT to conduct legal research, leading to them citing a fictitious case. Additional fake rulings were cited in legal papers filed by lawyers for Michael Cohen, a formal personal attorney for President Donald Trump. Cohen took responsibility for the incident, claiming he was unaware the AI-tool his firm was using was capable of "hallucinations." Dewald did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
