He was killed in a road rage incident. His family used AI to bring him to the courtroom to address his killer

In a groundbreaking courtroom moment, an AI-generated video of road rage victim Christopher Pelkey was used in his killer’s sentencing, letting Pelkey speak posthumously in his own recreated voice. His sister Stacey Wales spent two years crafting the message, using AI tools she and her husband had used in corporate settings. The judge called the video powerful and gave a harsher sentence than prosecutors requested. Now, here’s the paper packaging angle—this signals a shift in public perception of deepfake AI from fear to function. For packaging brands using AI avatars for sustainability messaging or CEO storytelling, this case proves emotionally resonant AI can influence real-world decisions.https://www.channel3000.com/news/national-and-world-news/he-was-killed-in-a-road-rage-incident-his-family-used-ai-to-bring-him/article_4cae870b-fb0f-5d62-9545-4a23309ccb3f.html

New DOJ proposal still calls for Google to divest Chrome, but allows for AI investments

"Big news in tech and its ripple effect on packaging! The DOJ is still pushing for Google to sell Chrome, arguing it maintains an illegal monopoly. While AI investments like Anthropic are spared, search-related payments and Android's future remain in question. But here’s the packaging twist—Google’s dominance in search influences consumer behavior, shaping e-commerce trends that impact demand for shipping materials, including paper-based packaging. If Google’s grip weakens, advertisers may shift strategies, potentially altering online retail patterns and packaging needs.
