The interview was generated by artificial intelligence
Michael Schumacher's family are planning legal action against a German weekly magazine over an 'interview' with the seven-time Formula One champion that was generated by artificial intelligence.
A spokesperson for the Schumacher family, asked for a comment on Wednesday, pointed to published reports of legal action.
The Ferrari legend has not been seen in public since he suffered a serious brain injury in a skiing accident on a family holiday in the French Alps in December 2013.
The family has guarded his privacy since, with access limited to those closest to him and little information given about his condition.
The latest edition of Die Aktuelle ran a front cover with a picture of a smiling Schumacher and the headline promising 'Michael Schumacher, the first interview'.
The strapline added: "It sounded deceptively real."
Inside, it emerged that the supposed quotes had been produced by AI.
