Founder of ChronoPay Delivers AI-Generated Final Statement in Court
The founder of the international payment processing company ChronoPay, Pavel Vrublevsky, delivered his final statement in court with a poetic touch—generated by artificial intelligence. A TASS correspondent reported from the Khamovniki Court in Moscow, where closing arguments were presented in the criminal case.
This marks the first known instance in judicial history where a defendant has used AI to craft their final words.
He noted that his lawyers assisted in preparing the speech, as he remains in pre-trial detention.
Earlier, the prosecution requested a 12-year prison sentence for Vrublevsky, along with a fine of 2.5 million rubles. For Nadezhda Akimova, the owner of Vangood, the prosecutor sought an 8-year sentence. Meanwhile, Matvey Vedyashkin and Alexey Belyaev, employees of ChronoPay Vostok, face potential sentences of 7 and 10 years, respectively.
During the closing arguments, all defendants pleaded for acquittal.
