Watch: AI brings murder victim to life in Arizona Court as family uses avatar in sentencing hearing

In a courtroom first, the family of Army veteran Christopher Pelkey used AI to bring his voice back from the grave—literally. During sentencing for his 2021 murder, a lifelike avatar of Pelkey delivered a powerful, forgiving victim impact statement that moved even the judge. While legal experts debate the ethics of such digital testimony, here’s the twist for the paper packaging world: this signals a cultural shift toward emotional personalization in digital formats. As AI avatars become more accepted in serious forums, packaging could evolve to include hyper-personalized, AI-generated messaging—think memorial packaging or cause-driven storytelling—blurring the line between printed empathy and digital voice.https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/watch-ai-brings-murder-victim-to-life-in-arizona-court-as-family-uses-avatar-in-sentencing-hearing/articleshow/121014447.cms

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.
