Caused outrage
Schumacher interview invented: Magazine sentenced
A fictitious Schumacher interview is costing a magazine dearly: the Funke media group must pay 200,000 euros in damages to the family of the former Formula 1 champion.
The magazine "Die Aktuelle" caused outrage last year when it published a supposed interview with Michael Schumacher - and advertised it as a "world sensation", "the first interview" and "it sounds deceptively real".
"Tasteless article"
Only at the end of the alleged interview did the magazine point out that the answers came from an artificial intelligence. The Funke media group promptly apologized for the "tasteless and misleading article", which "should never have been published". The interview "in no way meets the standards of journalism that we - and our readers - expect from a publisher like Funke".
The family of Schumacher, who was seriously injured in a skiing accident in 2013, went to court over the article and has now been awarded 200,000 euros in damages.
