The ruling, signed Friday by King County Superior Court Judge Leroy McCullogh and first reported by NBC News, described the technology as novel and said it relies on "opaque methods to represent what the AI model 'thinks' should be shown."
"This Court finds that admission of this Al-enhanced evidence would lead to a confusion of the issues and a muddling of eyewitness testimony, and could lead to a time-consuming trial within a trial about the non-peer-reviewable-process used by the AI model," the judge wrote in the ruling that was posted to the docket Monday.

That’s beyond scary, I’m glad the judge blocked it even though it was part of an attempt to exonerate the defendant because opening the door to prosecutors using this down the line would be a disaster
I fully expect a prosecutor to do this sooner or later and the judge to not do shit about it; IANAL but I don't think procedural decisions during trial like this have much precedential value
I am probably even less of a lawyer so I believe you’re right about this. Frightening stuff
