It is an editorial decision that the German magazine Actual may regret it for a while. In April 2023, the German press title decided to release an exclusive interview with Michael Schumacher in the pages of its magazine. Problem is, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion was the victim of a terrible accident during a ski vacation a little over 10 years ago now and since then, he has never appeared publicly again.
This “first exclusive interview” after ten years of Michael Schumacher was carried out using artificial intelligence, as explained Actual in small print in his magazine. The German media therefore reconstructed what could be the star’s responses with the help of the Character.ai program, which used interviews given by those close to him in recent years. A very particular process which did not go down at all with the family of the 55-year-old former pilot since shortly after, they took a drastic decision following the publication of this false interview by filing a complaint against the publication for what she did.
Michael Schumacher’s family will receive very large compensation of 200,000 euros
In addition to having seen the editor-in-chief lose her job following this false interview, Actual also just lost his lawsuit against Michael Schumacher’s family. The German media has just been ordered to pay very significant compensation to Corinna Schumacher and their two children, Mick and Gina since they will have to pay them nearly 200,000 euros !
A hell of a sum for the German’s family, who continues to be talked about despite their discretion. Recently, there was talk that Michael Schumacher would be present at his daughter’s wedding in Mallorca, which should take place next summer. An exceptional device could be planned for the occasion, in order to ensure the safety of the former Scuderia Ferrari driver.
