Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works

Its certainly similar in that CSI played a role in forming unrealistic expectations in student's minds. But. Rather than expecting more physical evidence in order to make a prosecution, the students expected magic to happen on computers and lab work (often faster than physically possible).

AI enhancement is not uncovering hidden visual data, but rather it generates that information based on previously existing training data and shoe horns that in. It certainly could be useful, but it is not real evidence.
