Chris Pelkey died in a road rage shooting in Arizona three years ago.
But with the help of artificial intelligence, he returned earlier this month at his killer’s sentencing to deliver a victim’s statement himself.
Family members said they used the burgeoning technology to let Mr Pelkey use his own words to talk about the incident that took his life.
While some experts argue the unique use of AI is just another step into the future, others say it could become a slippery slope for using the technology in legal cases.
