Part 3/9:
The Legal Debate: Fruit of the Poisonous Tree
Attorney General Yoast explained the legal argument surrounding the use of AI-generated evidence, notably the "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine. The doctrine suggests that any evidence seized from an improper source should be inadmissible in court. Nevertheless, Yoast argued that there is a "good faith exception" to this rule when there's no intent to deceive, emphasizing that the use of Clear View AI was merely a tool for establishing probable cause.
