A man has been sentenced to life in prison, with key evidence from an AI tool now under investigation. The creator of the AI, Adam Mosher, faces scrutiny for the reliability and transparency of his technology, Cybercheck.

Lack of Direct Evidence

During the trial in Akron, Ohio, jurors convicted Adarus Black based on Cybercheck’s data, despite no direct evidence linking him to the crime scene. The AI tool claimed with over 90% accuracy that Black’s cellphone was at the scene, but defense attorneys argue this was the “sole basis for conviction.”

Widespread Use and Controversies

Cybercheck has been used in over 300 cases nationwide, including 209 homicide cases. However, discrepancies in Mosher’s credentials and the accuracy of his technology have led to several cases being reconsidered. Some judges have thrown out Cybercheck evidence, and others have demanded access to the AI’s source code, which Mosher has refused to provide.

Investigations and Legal Battles

Defense attorney Donald Malarcik is actively challenging Cybercheck in multiple cases, citing inconsistencies and unreliable data. Mosher’s claims of peer reviews and extensive court testimonies have been debunked, raising doubts about his technology’s legitimacy.
